Nearly 100 attendees gathered at the Yellow Springs Barrel Room to celebrate the YS Chamber's Members Network Holiday Party, a festive close to an impactful year. The evening, catered by the impressive Yellow Springs Bakery & Company, was a joyful occasion filled with laughter, connection, and community.

The event honored sponsors, as well as the Chamber’s dedicated board members—welcoming new leaders, celebrating returning ones, and bidding farewell to those transitioning out. This recognition highlighted the Chamber's continued commitment to fostering economic development and strengthening the local business community.

“Despite seasons of uncertainty, the board of directors has remained steadfast in positioning the Chamber as a vital component of the village's business sector,” noted Phillip O’Rourke, Executive Director of the YS Chamber. “It's not just an organization; it’s a network of actual people representing local businesses who value the Chamber’s mission and believe in the unifying power of ‘TOGETHER.’”

With the support of sponsors, members, and investors, the Chamber has steadily expanded its membership, enhanced its programming, and uncovered new ways to make a meaningful impact on the community.

The holiday gathering was not just a celebration of 2024's achievements but also a launchpad for new opportunities and collaborations in the year ahead. As the Chamber looks to 2025, it does so with renewed purpose, exciting programming and continued dedication to the vitality of its members.
