President’s Welcome
Welcome to the Northwest Ohio Chapter—an exciting year is ahead!
It is truly an honor to serve as President of this incredible chapter, and I am energized by the opportunities we have to connect, learn, and grow together in the year ahead.
Our goal this year is to deliver educational programming that leaves you inspired and empowered, along with meaningful networking opportunities that support your personal and professional growth.
My vision for this year centers on chapter membership and engagement—fostering a strong community, where professionals from Northwest Ohio can exchange ideas, gain insights, and stay informed on the latest industry trends.
The chapter leaders and I are enthusiastically planning a year of focused, industry-centered events designed to be meaningful to our members and responsive to what matters most in Northwest Ohio. We are especially excited to meet and engage with those across our area who are looking for collaboration, shared learning, fresh perspectives, and stronger professional connections.

I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Stacey Basalla for her outstanding leadership and commitment to our chapter over the past year.
