Trotwood Area Chamber of Commerce

The Trotwood Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to our community. The Chamber was formed in 1979 when a group of business leaders felt the need to have an organization that would help nurture the businesses in Trotwood so they created the Trotwood-Madison Chamber of Commerce. In 1996 when the City merged with Madison Township, the board of directors determined the organization's name should be changed to Trotwood Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber strives to be a positive voice for the community and sponsor many events to enhance the business experience and educate business owners, as well as the community. We are members of the Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance, Ohio Chambers, Miami Valley Military Affairs, and other organizations.

The Chamber publishes a monthly newsletter and a different member is profiled in our newsletter every month. We also focus on new members and encourage them to write an article to be included in the newsletter. The Chamber is working with the City of Trotwood for the economic growth of our City and community. We focus on retaining members and recruiting new members... we are available to serve you! Should you have questions, please call the Chamber at 937.837.1484 or email mbattle@trotwoodchamber.org., we will return your call within 24 hours.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

TO MEMBERS AND TROTWOOD COMMUNITY

Deborah Smith, Trotwood Chamber of Commerce President Welcome to 2023! A new year has arrived and the last one is behind us. As in previous years, this new year brings with it our hopes for a new beginning.

I am so excited and encouraged about the direction of the city of Trotwood. Last year there were over $50 million of investments, for example: over 38 new homes were built in Wolf Creek Run and Moss Creek neighborhoods; the groundbreaking ceremony for the GATED Industrial Park; the construction of the Western Division of the Montgomery County Municipal Court; the West Campus Community Center of Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley and the construction of the 50-unit Trotwood Senior Lofts.

I am also excited and encouraged about the direction of the Trotwood Chamber of Commerce. The chamber is continually evolving to help lead and actively support all of the great things the city of Trotwood, Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and business community are doing, and to maximize all of the beneficial program services and events we provide for our members and the community.

Many positive things were spearheaded by the chamber in 2022; among them were four of our traditional annual events: Our Mother's Day Recognition Luncheon; the Business Showcase/Job Fair; the Golf outing and our elegant Awards Dinner (Awards to outstanding new, small and large chamber members). In addition, we started a new initiative entitled, "Trotwood Businesses' Discount Days," — (Trotwood businesses offered discounts to their patrons).

For 2023, the board will focus on improving members' returns on their membership investments and growing our membership.

To help us improve our understanding of members and their businesses, we are planning several business after-hours events. Please contact Marie Battle at 937-837-1484 or email mbattle@trotwoodchamber.org if you would like for us to visit your business.

We would love for you to become a member of our board and offer your talents, ideas, or recommendations to enhance the Trotwood business environment and to make Trotwood an incredible place to live, work and play! Please contact either myself or Marie Battle for information on becoming a member.
