After four and a half incredible years, it’s time for me to step away as Director of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.

When I accepted this role, I never imagined just how much it would shape my life. Together, we grew events, strengthened community engagement, built new partnerships, celebrated local businesses, and created opportunities to showcase everything that makes Ada such a special place. Watching our community continue to grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my career.

Covering township meetings has languished at the top of my to-do list for several years. I am always ready to talk with individuals who are interested and available to work as freelance reporters for local public meetings.

To fill the reporter gap, I am looking for individuals who would like to attend monthly township trustee meetings and record the audio on a cell phone. The Icons cover Liberty Township in Hardin County, Orange Township in Hancock County and Richland Township in Allen County.
