LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — There’s still time to register for the Lima Allen County Chamber of Commerce’s annual breakfast this Friday, January 30th.

Business leaders, community stakeholders, and professionals from around the region are encouraged to attend the event, which provides an opportunity to network and learn more about economic and workforce trends affecting local businesses.

This year’s speaker is the director of economic and workforce development for the Fairfield County Workforce Center, who will discuss “The Future of Work Starts Here.”

Julie Klingler, director of programs for the Chamber, said the event will review 2025 while providing insight into what’s ahead in 2026.

“We recap 2025, but really the gist of it is to look forward to 2026 and get a sense of what’s coming up on the business, economic, and workforce horizon. So we’re going to be talking about upcoming trends and what really matters to business leaders coming up this year,” Klingler said.

While online registration is closed, tickets are still available by calling the Lima Allen County Chamber of Commerce. Doors open at 7 a.m., and the event will conclude by 9 a.m. at the UNOH Event Center.
