5 Simple Ways Small Businesses Can Utilize AI for Enhanced Operations

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:07:01 GMT

Running a small business in Ohio comes with its unique set of challenges, from managing day-to-day operations to finding time for networking and building valuable local relationships. As technology advances, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers practical solutions to make these tasks easier and more efficient, ensuring you have more time and resources for what truly matters—growing your business and connecting with your community. Here are five straightforward ways to incorporate AI into your business without being tech-savvy.

1. Boost Your Marketing Efforts

Marketing can often feel overwhelming for small businesses. AI tools like ChatGPT can lend a helping hand by creating eye-catching content, personalizing customer interactions, and even analyzing your audience's preferences. By automating some of these tasks, you can focus more on engaging with customers and making those all-important local connections.

2. Take the Hassle Out of Financial Management

Balancing the books and staying on top of finances is essential but can be stressful. AI-enhanced financial tools can automate processes like bookkeeping and invoicing. These tools offer insights into your business's financial health, helping you make better decisions without pouring over spreadsheets for hours.

3. Streamline Hiring Process

Finding the right employees can make or break a small business, and AI can aid in this process by filtering through resumes and highlighting the best candidates. With AI, scheduling interviews and other repetitive tasks become more straightforward, giving you more time to meet potential team members and see if they fit your business environment.

4. Better Manage Your Inventory

Keeping track of inventory can often be time-consuming and complex. AI tools can predict when products will be in demand and suggest optimal stock levels, ensuring that you never have too much or too little. This smart management can improve your bottom line and ensure customer satisfaction with on-time deliveries.

5. Elevate Customer Interaction

Customer service is vital for any business, but responding to inquiries can take up a significant portion of your time. AI-driven chatbots can handle frequent questions and direct customers effectively, acting as a digital assistant. This way, you can provide excellent customer service, whilst focusing on growing personal relationships with your key clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I get started with AI in my business?

A: Look at where AI could ease business pressures—be it marketing, finances, or inventory—and explore user-friendly tools fit for your business needs.

Q: Are AI solutions expensive for small businesses?

A: Many AI tools are budget-friendly and designed for small businesses, providing automation and efficiency without significant costs.

Q: If I'm not tech-savvy, how can I learn more about AI?

By introducing these simple AI tools, you can experience more efficient operations and focus on strengthening your business community involvement and customer relationships.

The Strategic Value of Annual Chamber Sponsorship: Beyond Logo Placement to Community Leadership

chris@beavercreekchamber.org (Chris McClure) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 20:00:31 GMT

When small business owners in Ohio consider investing their marketing dollars, the question often arises: "Is annual chamber sponsorship worth it?" The answer isn't just yes—it's a resounding investment in your business's future growth, community standing, and long-term success. Annual sponsorship with the Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce represents far more than simply placing your logo on materials; it's a strategic pathway to becoming a recognized community leader and trusted local business.

Understanding the True Value Beyond Logo Visibility

Many business owners mistakenly view chamber sponsorship as a passive marketing expense—pay the fee, get your logo displayed, and hope for the best. This outdated thinking misses the transformative potential of active sponsorship engagement. Annual sponsors who understand and leverage the full scope of benefits consistently see measurable returns on their investment.

The real value begins with the comprehensive promotional support that Beavercreek Chamber staff provides. As an annual sponsor, your business receives dedicated promotion across multiple touchpoints throughout the year. Chamber staff actively highlight sponsor businesses at networking events, featuring them in conversations with attendees and introducing key decision-makers. This personal advocacy from trusted chamber representatives carries significant weight in our tight-knit business community.

Multi-Channel Marketing at Work

Your sponsorship investment activates a multi-channel marketing approach that would cost significantly more if purchased separately. The chamber's social media presence becomes your extended marketing team, regularly featuring sponsor businesses in posts, stories, and community highlights. This consistent digital visibility keeps your brand top-of-mind among local business leaders, potential customers, and community stakeholders.

The chamber website serves as a year-round digital showcase for sponsors, providing SEO benefits and local search visibility that helps potential customers find your business online. When community members search for services in the Beavercreek area, sponsor businesses enjoy enhanced online presence through their chamber partnership.

From Recognition to Revenue:
The ROI Reality

Addressing the ROI concern directly: measurable returns from annual sponsorship come through consistent brand exposure leading to tangible business opportunities. Businesses that maintain their annual sponsorship year after year consistently report becoming the "go-to" entities in their respective industries within the community.

This recognition translates into several revenue-generating opportunities. First, enhanced referrals flow naturally when chamber staff and fellow members consistently see your brand and associate it with quality service. The Beavercreek Chamber's member-to-member referral program becomes significantly more effective when your business maintains high visibility through sponsorship.

Second, networking opportunities multiply exponentially. Annual sponsors often receive priority invitations to exclusive events, early access to chamber workshops and seminars, and opportunities to present their expertise to fellow members. These connections frequently develop into partnerships, vendor relationships, and customer acquisitions that far exceed the sponsorship investment.

Building Community Trust and Credibility

Perhaps the most valuable long-term benefit of annual sponsorship is the trust and credibility it builds within the community. When residents and business owners consistently see your company supporting local chamber initiatives, educational programs, and community events, they perceive your business as invested in the area's success.

This community goodwill becomes invaluable during challenging economic times or when customers choose between competing services. Businesses known for their community contribution enjoy customer loyalty that transcends price competition. They become trusted advisors rather than just service providers.

Active Engagement Amplifies Results

The businesses that maximize their sponsorship ROI understand that engagement amplifies investment returns. Simply writing the check and waiting for results yields minimal impact. However, sponsors who actively participate in chamber events, volunteer for committees, and engage with fellow members see exponential returns.

The Beavercreek Chamber offers numerous engagement opportunities that complement your sponsorship investment. Utilizing the multi-media studio rentals for content creation, hosting meetings in chamber conference rooms, and participating in educational workshops demonstrates your commitment to growth and community involvement.

The Business Development Grant program, offering up to $8,000 annually, provides additional value for engaged sponsors looking to expand their operations or implement new technologies. This grant opportunity alone can offset a significant portion of sponsorship costs while funding business improvements.

Strategic Positioning for Growth

Annual sponsorship positions your business strategically for both immediate opportunities and long-term growth. When the chamber promotes local businesses to visiting executives, potential new residents, or media representatives, sponsors receive priority mention and consideration.

This positioning proves especially valuable for businesses seeking to expand their customer base beyond their immediate network. Chamber connections often introduce sponsors to regional opportunities, government contracts, and partnership possibilities that wouldn't otherwise be accessible.

Measuring Success and Maximizing Investment

Smart sponsors track their return on investment through multiple metrics: new customer acquisitions traced to chamber connections, referrals received from fellow members, speaking opportunities that establish expertise, and partnerships formed through chamber networking.

The most successful annual sponsors view their investment as part of a comprehensive community engagement strategy. They leverage every aspect of their chamber membership, from networking events to educational opportunities to sponsorship recognition, creating a synergistic effect that multiplies their marketing impact.

How to Excel in Networking with Your Local Chamber of Commerce and Business Groups

chris@beavercreekchamber.org (Chris McClure) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 19:50:20 GMT

Joining your local Chamber of Commerce or other business networking groups can be a game-changer for your professional growth. But simply attending events and handing out business cards isn’t enough. To truly excel in these settings, you need a strategic and authentic approach. Here’s how to make the most of your networking efforts.

1. Show Up Consistently The first step is to be present. Attend meetings, mixers, and events regularly. Consistency builds familiarity, and people are more likely to do business with those they know and trust. Make it a point to show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to contribute.

2. Focus on Building Relationships, Not Just Leads Avoid the hard sell. Instead, aim to form genuine connections. Ask questions, listen actively, and learn about others' businesses. When people feel seen and heard, they’re more inclined to remember you and refer you.

3. Volunteer and Get Involved One of the best ways to stand out is to volunteer for committees or help organize events. This shows leadership and commitment, and it places you in closer contact with influential members of the community.

4. Have a Clear Elevator Pitch Be ready to articulate who you are and what you do in a concise, engaging way. Tailor your pitch to highlight how your business solves a problem or brings value. Practice it until it feels natural, not rehearsed.

5. Follow Up and Stay in Touch After making a connection, don’t let it fizzle. Send a follow-up email or connect on LinkedIn. Mention something specific from your conversation to personalize the message. Staying top-of-mind is key to turning contacts into clients or collaborators.

6. Leverage Social Media Engage with your Chamber and other members on social platforms. Share event highlights, tag people you meet, and comment on others’ posts. This extends your visibility beyond in-person meetings.

7. Educate and Share Value Position yourself as a helpful resource. Offer insights, share tips, or host a workshop. The more you give, the more trust you build—and trusted professionals are the ones people refer.

8. Be Patient and Persistent Networking is a long game. It takes time to build trust and see results. Stay the course, keep showing up, and nurture your relationships. The payoff will come.

Excelling in networking isn’t about being the loudest in the room. It’s about being consistent, genuine, and valuable. By investing in relationships and giving more than you take, your local Chamber of Commerce and other business groups can become powerful allies in your growth journey.

MCO Report Card: What Does It All Mean?

Fri, 23 May 2025 19:10:35 GMT

Every year, Ohio BWC releases the MCO Report Card, scoring MCOs in six categories. During MCO Open Enrollment every two years, the Report Card can play an important role in employers’ decision making. However, not everyone understands what all of these benchmarks mean, or they’re thrown off by how the numbers are represented. Most scores are represented in a horizontal bar chart with a vertical line representing the “statewide average” in that category. While the numbers may appear far apart on the graphs, they may be very close in value. It’s important to look at the actual numbers, not just visuals.

It’s just as important to know what each category means, and why some of these benchmarks matter more to BWC than employers. The first two categories aren’t scores, but give you an idea of market share for each MCO. Page 2 shows the number of employers represented by each MCO, and how many active claims they were managing at the time the snapshot was taken. Page 3 showcases each MCO’s book of businesses across 12 industries. Everyone is close in market share – the biggest spread in any industry is 11% on the 2025 Report Card. It’s important to remember that “a claim is a claim.” Different industries have different needs, but that doesn’t mean one MCO will manage claims better for a trucking company because they have a higher market share in transportation.

The first scored category is FROI Timing . FROI is the acronym for First Report of Injury. This is an average of the amount of days between the date of injury (DOI) and a claim being filed with BWC. The quicker this happens, the quicker the injured worker will be assigned a claim number – which makes things like filling prescriptions and getting into physical therapy much easier.

FROI Turnaround scores are next. All MCOs are fairly close here, but faster is not always better. In this window of time, MCOs gather details from all involved parties and may communicate with your TPA on the matter. The MCO should verify all of the details and make sure there are no red flags prior to submitting. As an employer, you want your MCO to take the time to ensure the mechanism of injury lines up with everything else that’s been reported, as well as the medical necessity of treatments being requested.

Provider Bill Timing measures the average number of days between the MCO receiving the provider bill and when it’s submitted to BWC for processing. The report card states that lower numbers are better here, but consider that your MCO is taking time to review the bills to ensure they’re marked down to state fee schedule and free of errors. Some MCOs utilize software or AI to complete this task, and some still do this manually by employee review. Billing delays can also be caused by things out of an MCO’s control - like missing claim or provider numbers, invoicing the wrong MCO, insufficient documentation, etc. These errors typically occur on the provider side, and the MCO must contact the provider to get it corrected before submitting.

Provider Bill Accuracy scores an MCO on the accuracy of bills submitted to BWC for payment. Only specific errors outlined by BWC count as an error here. The score given is a percentage of an MCO’s correct bills submitted during a certain time period. For example, if an MCO had 1000 claims at that time and only four claims with errors, their score would be 99.6%.

MCO Penalties:

Capacity – This means an MCO cannot accept new employer assignments, and it can be implemented either by the MCO themselves, or by BWC. There are over a dozen reasons that this may occur, but the more likely culprits are violating BWC’s MCO marketing rules, unresolved weaknesses identified in compliance reports or audits, FROI turnaround over 2.5 days, or a major vendor change (such as a software) that could create volatility in everyday operations.

Setoff – BWC can deduct from an MCO’s fee payments for things like FROI timing averaging over 12 days, provider billing averaging over 8 days, FROI system data accuracy under 94%, bill payment accuracy, and audit compliance.

Withhold - BWC can withhold all or a portion of an MCO’s fee payment for “substantial failure” on the MCO’s part to fulfill its contractual obligations, or for the inappropriate approval of medical, non-medical and rehab services.

Finally, the Employer Satisfaction Survey . The clinical and administrative benchmarks in the first five categories may not resonate with employers, since they’re not a big part of the day-to-day relationship between the employer and their MCO. MCOs were created by BWC to outsource the medical management of workers’ comp claims in Ohio. They’re all held to the same set of rules, with the same basic services expected out of each company. The level and quality of customer service is where many employers may notice a difference from one to the next. These scores are derived from surveys completed by Ohio BWC policyholders with at least one lost time claim. Employers rate their MCO on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being worst and 5 being best) in categories like response times, help with return-to-work strategies and programs, professionalism and case management.

What to Look for in an MCO

Fri, 23 May 2025 18:58:46 GMT

What is an MCO?

MCOs are contracted through the BWC to manage the medical aspect of employee work-related injury claims. They are paid by Ohio BWC with a portion of employer-paid premiums.\

What should an employer look for when selecting an MCO?

A utilization review department that is separate from the case management department is key. This helps an MCO maintain impartiality and make objective decisions when responding to treatment requests by doctors to determine their appropriateness in the context of a claim.
An MCO needs a comprehensive fee-auditing department to determine what claims are appropriate to pay. A company should feel confident that their MCO’s process is thorough enough to avoid unnecessary charges.
Companies benefit from MCOs that have a relationship with a provider network. This enables it to take advantage of discounts below the BWC’s fee schedule. Lower medical costs equate to lower workers’ compensation premium payments.
Customized reporting is an added perk, as such reports can contain incredibly valuable information - like how to target and engineer out certain injury types with better safety or ergonomic programs.
A company should have one point of contact at their MCO. Having multiple contacts is confusing. One point of contact means the MCO can learn the employer’s preferences, and most importantly its return-to-work philosophy.
MCOs should help with an employee’s return to work, and offer flexible return-to-work strategies that are specific to the employer.

Top 10 Seasonal Promotion Ideas for Small Businesses (Without Spending a Lot of Time or Money)

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 14:41:16 GMT

Promoting your business seasonally doesn’t have to mean expensive campaigns or time-consuming events. With a bit of creativity and strategic timing, you can boost visibility year-round—and many of these ideas are free or low-cost. Here's how to make a big impact in your community every season, without the heavy lift.

1. Create Seasonal Social Media Posts

Use quick and timely posts tied to holidays, weather changes, or local events. A simple “Happy First Day of Spring” message with a relevant photo or special offer goes a long way. Plan ahead with a seasonal content calendar so you’re not scrambling.

Chamber Bonus: The Beavercreek Chamber can help amplify your seasonal posts by sharing them on their social media platforms. Just tag them or send your promo content over!

2. Participate in Local Seasonal Events

From summer festivals to holiday markets, these events are perfect for setting up a booth, distributing flyers, or just networking. Even a small presence makes a big impression.

Pro Tip: Use the Chamber’s event calendar to stay in the loop or sponsor an event to get your name in front of hundreds of locals.

3. Decorate Your Space (Physically or Virtually)

Dress up your storefront, office, or website to reflect the season. Even subtle seasonal accents show customers you’re engaged and timely. A cozy winter window display or bright summer vibes can attract foot traffic and shares on social media.

4. Offer Limited-Time Seasonal Deals

People love a good deal—especially when there’s urgency. Offer a “Spring Refresh” package, “Back-to-School” special, or “Holiday Happy Hour” discount that runs for a short time.

5. Collaborate with Other Local Businesses

Partner with a neighboring business for a joint seasonal promotion. For example, a salon and café might offer a “Pamper & Perk” summer deal. It’s a win-win that doubles your exposure.

Chamber Bonus: Use the member directory to find potential partners or connect at Chamber networking events .

6. Host a Seasonal Giveaway

Run a quick contest on social media like “Share your favorite fall photo and tag us to win!” Prizes can be as simple as a $20 gift card. You’ll grow engagement and attract new followers.

7. Send a Seasonal Email Newsletter

Use free tools like Mailchimp to send a quarterly update with seasonal tips, offers, or upcoming events. Keep it short and valuable to stay top of mind.

8. Attend (or Teach) a Seasonal Workshop

Spring cleaning tips? Holiday budgeting? Fall wellness? Use your expertise in a relevant workshop hosted by the Chamber or a local partner.

Chamber Bonus: The Beavercreek Chamber offers workshops and speaking opportunities —great for showcasing your knowledge and building credibility.

9. Tap Into the Chamber’s Multi-Media Studio

Create quick seasonal videos or podcasts with professional quality using the Chamber’s multi-media studio . A short “Holiday Tips from the Pros” or “Summer Must-Haves” video adds polish without the price tag.

10. Apply for the Business Development Grant

While not specific to a season, if you have a promotional idea that needs a little funding boost—like signage for a holiday event or materials for a summer campaign—apply for the Chamber’s Business Development Grant (up to $8,000 annually!). Applications open June 1.

Final Thoughts

Promoting your small business seasonally doesn’t have to drain your budget or your time. The key is to stay consistent, be relevant to the season, and tap into existing resources—like those offered through your Beavercreek Chamber membership.

Whether it's a simple post, a fun collab, or a community event, these seasonal touches show your business is active, thoughtful, and rooted in the community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I don’t have a storefront—can I still promote seasonally?
Absolutely! Digital decorations (like themed email headers or website banners), online giveaways, and virtual events are all great seasonal tools for service-based or home-based businesses.

Q: How far in advance should I plan for a season?
Try to plan 4–6 weeks ahead. For major holidays (like Christmas or back-to-school), consider starting even earlier to maximize exposure.

Q: What if I don’t have a marketing team?
You don’t need one! Many Chamber resources are designed for solopreneurs and small teams—like studio rentals, workshops, and member-to-member referrals.

The Top 10 Marketing Mistakes Small Businesses Make (And How to Fix Them!)

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 17:05:04 GMT

Marketing can make or break a small business. But let’s be honest—most small business owners are juggling a hundred different things at once, and marketing sometimes gets put on the back burner. Sound familiar?

The good news is that even small tweaks can make a big difference. Below are the top 10 mistakes small businesses make in their marketing—and what to do instead!

1. Not Having a Marketing Plan

Imagine driving without a GPS. You might get somewhere, but it won’t be the fastest or smoothest route. The same goes for marketing! A clear strategy saves time, money, and headaches.

Fix:

Create a simple marketing plan that outlines your target audience, key messages, and goals. The Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce offers workshops to help members build a strong marketing strategy—take advantage of them!

2. Trying to Market to Everyone

"Everyone" is not a target audience. If you try to reach everyone, you’ll connect with no one.

Fix:

Define your ideal customer. Where do they live? What are their interests? What problems can your product or service solve? Get specific.

3. Ignoring Online Presence

If you don’t exist online, do you even exist? (At least in the eyes of potential customers!) Many small businesses neglect their websites or social media pages, making them nearly invisible to modern consumers.

Fix:

Keep your website updated, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate. If you need help with social media marketing, the Beavercreek Chamber offers resources and training to get you on the right track!

4. Not Using Social Media Effectively

Just posting a random photo once a month won’t cut it. Social media is a powerful tool—but only if you use it right.

Fix:

Be consistent! Post regularly, engage with followers, and create content that provides value. Don’t have time? Consider hiring a social media manager or using a scheduling tool.

5. Ignoring Email Marketing

Many businesses think email marketing is outdated, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Done right, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to stay connected with customers.

Fix:

Build an email list and send valuable content (not just sales pitches). Need guidance? The Chamber offers marketing workshops that cover email strategies!

6. Not Tracking Marketing Efforts

How do you know if your marketing is working? Many small businesses skip tracking their efforts, which means they could be wasting time and money.

Fix:

Use tools like Google Analytics, social media insights, and email open rates to measure success. Adjust your strategy based on the data.

7. Overlooking Local SEO

If someone searches for a business like yours in your town, will they find you? If not, you’re missing out on easy traffic.

Fix:

Claim your Google My Business profile, encourage customer reviews, and use location-specific keywords on your website.

8. Underestimating the Power of Networking

Marketing isn’t just about digital strategies—it’s about relationships too! Many small businesses forget that networking can bring in valuable leads and partnerships.

Fix:

Attend networking events, join your local Chamber of Commerce (like the Beavercreek Chamber!), and collaborate with other businesses.

9. Not Investing in Professional Branding

A DIY logo and inconsistent branding make a business look unprofessional. Customers judge books by their covers—so make sure yours is polished!

Fix:

Hire a professional designer or use high-quality templates. Maintain a consistent look across your website, social media, and marketing materials.

10. Giving Up Too Soon

Marketing is a long game. Too many small businesses throw in the towel when they don’t see immediate results.

Fix:

Stay consistent, keep testing different strategies, and be patient. Marketing success doesn’t happen overnight—but when done right, it pays off!

Avoiding these common mistakes will help you build a stronger, more effective marketing strategy. And remember, the Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce is here to support your business with networking, workshops, marketing assistance, and more.

10 Simple Ways Small Businesses Can Use AI to Grow (Without Feeling Like a Sci-Fi Movie)

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 17:51:34 GMT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—helping us write emails, organize schedules, and even recommend our next favorite TV show. But did you know AI can also help small businesses grow, save time, and boost profits? And no, you don’t need a team of tech wizards to make it happen!

Here are 10 simple, practical ways you can start using AI today to make running your business easier and more efficient.

1. Automate Customer Service with Chatbots

Ever feel like you’re answering the same questions over and over? AI-powered chatbots (like ChatGPT, Drift, or Tidio) can handle FAQs, appointment bookings, and even basic customer support 24/7—so you can focus on more important things, like running your business.

2. Use AI for Smarter Social Media

Tools like Canva’s Magic Write, Lately, and ChatGPT can help you create engaging social media posts, generate hashtags, and even schedule content at the best times. It’s like having a personal social media manager—minus the salary!

3. Create Personalized Marketing Emails

AI-powered email tools (like Mailchimp, HubSpot, or ActiveCampaign) can write, optimize, and send emails based on customer behavior. That means you can send the right message at the right time without lifting a finger.

4. Get Instant Business Insights

AI tools like Tableau, Google Analytics, and Pecan analyze your sales, website traffic, and customer behavior to help you make data-driven decisions. It’s like having a business consultant in your back pocket!

5. Save Time on Administrative Tasks

AI-powered scheduling tools like Calendly or Motion can book appointments and manage your calendar automatically. AI note-taking apps like Otter.ai can transcribe meetings so you never miss important details. Less admin work = more time for growing your business!

6. Write Better Content (Without Writer’s Block!)

AI tools like Jasper, Grammarly, and ChatGPT can help you brainstorm ideas, write blog posts, and proofread content. No more staring at a blank screen wondering what to write!

7. Optimize Your Website for Search Engines (SEO Magic!)

Want more customers to find you online? AI tools like Surfer SEO and Clearscope analyze keywords and trends to help you optimize your website content—so you rank higher on Google.

8. Predict Customer Behavior

AI can analyze past sales data to predict what your customers might buy next. Platforms like Shopify and Salesforce use AI to recommend products, personalize discounts, and improve customer retention.

9. Improve Hiring and Recruiting

Need to find the perfect team member? AI-powered hiring platforms like Workable and LinkedIn Recruiter can scan resumes, match candidates, and even conduct initial screening interviews.

10. Boost Online Ads with AI-Powered Targeting

AI-driven advertising tools like Meta (Facebook) Ads Manager and Google Ads use data to target the right audience at the right time, increasing your ad effectiveness without increasing your budget.

The Bottom Line? AI = Your Small Business Superpower!

You don’t need to be a tech genius to use AI—just start small! Try one or two tools, see what works for you, and watch as your business runs more smoothly. AI isn’t here to take over—it’s here to make your life easier. And who wouldn’t want that?

Now, go forth and let AI do the heavy lifting! ��

The luncheon will take place on April 12, at the Holiday Inn, located at 2800 Presidential Dr., Fairborn, with doors opening at 10:30 AM. Tickets for the event are available for $40 each, and given the popularity of this occasion, attendees are encouraged to secure their tickets early at https://beavercreekwomensleague.org/events(https://beavercreekwomensleague.org/events).

Proceeds from this beloved event will directly benefit scholarships awarded to exceptional graduating female seniors at Beavercreek High School, as well as adult women in Greene County who are returning to school to pursue their educational goals. Since the inception of the scholarship programs, including the Beavercreek High School and Women in Transition (WiT) scholarships, the BWL has proudly awarded over $250,000 to deserving students.

For more than two decades, the BWL has recognized and supported graduating seniors who demonstrate not only academic excellence but also active participation in their school and community, financial need, and the potential for success in higher education. A dedicated scholarship committee, comprised of teachers, counselors, and community representatives, works diligently to match local scholarships with deserving students. This year, the winners were honored during a special program at Beavercreek High School on May 6.

The league is excited to announce that four scholarships valued at $2,000 each have been awarded to outstanding female seniors. Additionally, Greene County "Women in Transition" scholarship winners have received awards through Wright State University and Clark State University, designed to empower non-traditional female students returning to school. For over two decades, this initiative has positively impacted the lives of Greene County women, helping them to become future leaders and champions of the community.

"The Scholarship Luncheon is not just an event; it is a celebration of resilience, ambition, and the transformative power of education," said Debbie Alberico, Beavercreek Women’s League WiT Chairperson. "By investing in these remarkable women, we are investing in the future of our community, one scholarship at a time."

Community members are invited to join in this meaningful celebration of education, empowerment, and community spirit. With support, the Beavercreek Women’s League can continue to uplift and inspire the women of Beavercreek and Greene County.

Global Day of Unplugging March 7, 2025

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 21:55:25 GMT

Do you have multiple digital devices? Are you constantly Snapchatting, Tweeting, TikTok-ing, or Facebook-ing every move and find it hard to get through a meaningful conversation? Are you easily distracted by your phone or comparing your life to that of your friends online ? We increasingly miss out on the valuable moments of our lives as we pass the hours with our faces buried in our smartphones, documenting our every move through social media, and shielding ourselves from the outside world, where real human connections happen.

If you notice these habits in yourself or your friends and family, Disconnect to Connect Coalition invites you to commit to participating in the annual Global Day of Unplugging (GDU) to “Be Screen Free” from sundown on Friday, March 7, to sundown on Saturday, March 8 . This is the third year our coalition has encouraged local participation, called #GreeneCountyUnplugged.

We invite you once again to encourage everyone you know – your business colleagues, students, co-workers, neighbors, family, and friends to take this day and carve out time to unplug, be screen-free, relax, reflect, be active, visit the outdoors, and connect with loved ones. We are asking you to share a message about #GreeneCountyUnplugged or #BeScreenFree on your marquis sign (if available), in a newsletter, on the radio or television, or in any other way to get the message out! Be sure to print out the attached poster, write why you unplug, take a selfie with it, and share your picture on social media (use #BeScreenFree, #GreeneCountyUnplugged, and #GDU2025) or email it to lfox@gcph.info. Also, share the attached graphic on your website or social media to encourage others to unplug and be screen-free!

We hope you will join us for this 3rd annual county-wide initiative March 7-8, 2025! If you are willing to join us, please email lfox@gcph.info so you can be recognized as a supporter in our promotional efforts and on our social media pages.

Sincerely,

The Disconnect 2 Connect Coalition
