The Crawford County Chamber of Commerce has launched a new website designed to enhance support for local businesses and foster community engagement. This initiative follows the recent merger of the Bucyrus Area Chamber of Commerce and the Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce, officially forming the unified Crawford County Chamber of Commerce on January 1. It can be accessed here.
Streamlined Navigation and User-Friendly Design
The website features an intuitive layout with sections labeled About, Members, Events, News, Sponsorship, Experience Galion, Visit Bucyrus, Crestline DORA, and Job Search. This structure allows users to easily access information pertinent to their interests. The responsive design ensures compatibility across various devices, providing a seamless experience for users on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
Comprehensive Resources for Members
Members of the Chamber can benefit from a dedicated area that includes a Member Directory and Account Login. The Member Directory offers detailed information about local businesses, promoting networking and collaboration within the community. The secure Member Account Login enables members to manage their profiles and engage with Chamber activities efficiently.
Events Calendar and News Updates
The Events section provides both a Chamber Event Calendar and a Community Event Calendar, keeping members and the public informed about upcoming events, workshops, and gatherings. This feature encourages active participation in community affairs. Additionally, the News section offers updates and announcements relevant to the business community, highlighting initiatives such as “Crawford-Opoly,” which showcases the Chamber’s commitment to local engagement.
Opportunities for Sponsorship and Community Involvement
The Sponsorship section outlines various opportunities for businesses to support Chamber initiatives, enhancing their visibility within the community. Sections like Experience Galion and Visit Bucyrus provide insights into local attractions and programs, promoting regional tourism and economic development.
Job Search Functionality to Support Workforce Development
The Job Search feature connects job seekers with local employment opportunities, supporting workforce development in Crawford County. This tool benefits both employers and potential employees by streamlining the job search process.
Leadership and Vision
The formation of the Crawford County Chamber of Commerce represents a significant milestone in unifying the business community across the region. In a Galion Inquirer story this past June, Executive Director Casie Grau stated, “We are continuing to move Crawford County forward with a focus on benefiting and advocating for our members. I’m so pleased to be a part of this movement while working strategically with impactful leaders and community partners.”
The new website of the Crawford County Chamber of Commerce serves as a comprehensive platform for businesses and community members. Its user-friendly design, extensive resources, and commitment to fostering economic growth make it a valuable asset for Crawford County.
