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.

Executive Director

President's Message
Dear Chamber Members and Community,
All of us at the Trotwood Chamber of Commerce continue to be so excited and bullish about all of the major accomplishments and achievements in the greater Trotwood community in 2018 and all of what we know is coming in 2019 and beyond. All of the development and redevelopment initiated by the City's great businesses, City Government and the Community Improvement Corporation are testimony to what can be achieved if we all work together to build and grow one of the biggest and most important municipalities in Montgomery County, the Miami Valley and the State of Ohio. Facilitating all of this, the Trotwood Community Improvement Corporation (CIC), in cooperation with the Mayor, City Manager and City Council, have worked hard to attract new industrial, commercial, retail and residential development throughout the community.
The Trotwood Chamber of Commerce is continually evolving to help lead and actively support all of the great things the City, CIC and business community are doing and to maximize all of the beneficial programs, services and events we provide and plan to provide for our members and the community as a whole.
The Trotwood Board of Directors, including City Manager Quincy Pope and Trotwood Schools Superintendent Dr. Tyrone Olverson, consists of active, passionate members who represent non-profit community organizations, large corporate businesses, small local businesses, government, and education. The vision, energy and diversity of our board makes us strong and better able to facilitate the positive direction of our organization. The leadership of our board, working in conjunction with our outstanding Executive Director Marie Battle, is fully and thoroughly committed to doing everything we can to expand our local and regional influence and to help our businesses with their marketing, growth, development and profitability.
We hope all of you will attend some or all of our great events and programs in 2019, including several before and after hours networking events, our Business, our fantastic fall Golf Classic, our beautiful Annual Awards Dinner recognizing our great businesses, a Community Celebration of the Arts and many other outreach and business growth opportunities that will be announced and publicized throughout the year. These events offer wonderful opportunities to get to know other community leaders and to create partnerships and specific chances to grow your business. We would love to promote your business, just give Marie a call at 934.837.1484 and we will make it happen.
2019, building on the successes of 2018, will be an extraordinary and prosperous year of development/redevelopment, growth and expansion, as the Chamber of Commerce supports and promotes Trotwood as a community of choice for all high quality economic, business and community investment.
I am honored to, once again, serve as President of a terrific Board of Directors, superbly supported by an outstanding Executive Director, with the best group of business members, large and small, enjoyed by any Chamber of Commerce in the Miami Valley. If you are interested, we always have a seat at the table for you to join our leadership effort to help drive the Chamber and the community forward in a positive and progressive manner. Contact us at any time to offer your service, ideas or recommendations to enhance the Trotwood business environment. Our welcome mat is always out for movers and shakers who can help us further elevate the Chamber and the community to the forefront of Montgomery County and the Miami Valley.
Sincerely,
James W. Pierce,
President
