Photos from last week's Ohio Economic Development Association Annual Summit in Dayton! Beth Hannam and Kyleigh Lash represented SCEDC alongside a strong showing from Northwest Ohio.

Every session and keynote was full of great content, and we’re grateful to the OEDA team for once again delivering one of the year’s best events for economic developers and the largest state economic development summit in the nation!

A big congratulations to Chase Eikenbary, Vice President of Project Management at Regional Growth Partnership Northwest Ohio, on being named Economic Developer of the Year. A truly deserved award for a person that always goes above and beyond at what she does. The numbers don't lie! Thank you for all you do for NW Ohio and Sandusky County.

We’re already looking forward to next year’s summit. Thanks for a great event, OEDA!

We are in need of volunteers for the 12th Annual THINK Manufacturing Career Showcase!

The 12th Annual THINK Manufacturing Career Showcase is coming to the Fremont Rec Center on Thursday, October 1, 2026, and nearly 900 Sandusky County ninth-grade students will be taking part.

Volunteers will guide groups of 8–10 students from their buses to each station, help them stay engaged, and keep the day moving smoothly. You will not be responsible for teaching the hands-on activities—local manufacturing partners will lead the six skill stations.

Each volunteer will support one group during a session. Breakfast and lunch will be provided!

Help us introduce local students to exciting manufacturing careers and the opportunities available right here in Sandusky County.
