A message from our President & CEO, Janet Tressler-Davis.

"After much reflection and mixed emotions, I’ve decided the time has come to retire from the Westerville Area Chamber. It has truly been the honor of my life serving as President/CEO for the past 33 years - and being involved with the Chamber including volunteer roles, for 40 years....

I’ve loved every day of this work. It never felt like a job—it felt like purpose. That’s because of all of you."
