Coshocton County Chamber looks ahead with momentum and new events in 2026

As we leap into 2026, our chamber team and executive board would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every one of our members for an outstanding 2025. This past year we welcomed more than 40 new members into the chamber family, and our retention rate far exceeded the state average, a testament to your dedication, engagement and belief in the future of Coshocton County.

Your commitment to strengthening our community has helped drive real progress. Together, we celebrated major wins, forged new partnerships and continued to elevate the momentum that sets Coshocton apart. As we look ahead, we could not be prouder — or more excited — about what this new year is shaping up to be for our chamber and our county.

We’re thrilled to share a brand-new chamber event is coming in 2026: the Chamber Business Showcase, debuting this May. This event will shine the spotlight on the incredible businesses that keep our community thriving and provide a new opportunity for connection, visibility and celebration.

Our Empower HER Committee also is hard at work preparing for one of our most anticipated gatherings of the year — our annual Galentine’s Party Feb. 9. This event continues to grow, inspire and uplift, and we can’t wait to see the energy it brings to 2026.

As always, we want to continue building on the momentum created last year. Your ideas, suggestions and insights are invaluable as we look for new ways to serve you and strengthen our business community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I truly love hearing from our members.

I’m also excited to share I’ll be joining WTNS each quarter to highlight chamber happenings and upcoming events. If your business is celebrating a milestone in 2026, please let me know. We want to celebrate with you and ensure your accomplishments are recognized across our community.

Thank you for being a vital part of something larger. We are truly looking forward to "Leading the Way in 2026" and continuing to elevate Coshocton County — together.
