Apr 11 An Evening of Aces
The Andy Nowacki Foundation was founded by the family and friends of Marine Lance Cpl. Andrew “Ace” W. Nowacki, who gave his life on February 26, 2005, while protecting a convoy during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Foundation is dedicated to honoring Andy’s legacy of service by supporting those who are passionate about serving their communities as peace officers, firefighters, EMTs, or nurses. We believe that people who devote their lives to protecting and caring for others reflect the same bravery, compassion, and selflessness that Andy embodied. Our mission is to help ease the financial burden of education for these future heroes. Let’s come together to honor Andy’s memory and his steadfast commitment to community service.

Apr 28 MACC Monthly Luncheon - Innovative Ways to Hire Top Staff
Struggling to find—and keep—great employees? You’re not alone.

Join us for our upcoming Chamber Luncheon: Innovative Ways to Hire Top Staff, a practical and timely conversation designed specifically for small and mid-sized employers navigating today’s competitive hiring landscape.

During this session, we’ll explore the real hiring challenges businesses are facing right now—from shifting generational expectations to a market where traditional job postings simply aren’t enough. Today’s candidates want more than a paycheck—they’re looking for purpose, flexibility, culture, and a compelling overall package.

Together, we’ll discuss:
  • Why posting a job and “hoping for the best” no longer works
  • Creative, locally rooted recruiting strategies that strengthen your external hiring presence
  • How to position your roles when pay isn’t your only differentiator
  • Ways hiring practices and early expectations directly impact retention and workplace culture
You’ll walk away with practical takeaways you can immediately implement to better attract quality candidates, set clear expectations, and build a stronger foundation for long-term engagement and retention.

If hiring has felt harder than ever, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Led by Moderator, Barry Royko, Owner of Elevate HR Strategies and joined by panelists Sarah Baucco - Component Repair Technologies and Jennifer Edgell - Ladies & Gentlemen Salon & Spa and Kristen Phelps - Yours Truly Restaurants.

Apr 30 Cyber Security - Be Aware and Be Prepared

In an era where digital threats evolve faster than the software meant to stop them, staying "offline" isn't an option—but staying protected is. Join Dasia Johnson, Ohio APEX Accelerator Specialist, and Ed Slusarski, President of RYSS LLC, for a comprehensive two-hour deep dive into the essentials of modern cybersecurity.

This workshop is specifically designed for small business owners, government contractors, and professionals who need to navigate the complexities of data protection without getting lost in the jargon.

Key Takeaways:

The Threat Landscape: Understand current trends in phishing, ransomware, and social engineering—and why small businesses are often the primary targets.

Compliance & Requirements: Dasia Johnson will break down the latest cybersecurity standards required for government contracting (including CMMC insights) and how to keep your business eligible for prime opportunities.

Practical Defense Strategies: Ed Slusarski will share actionable, low-cost/high-impact steps to harden your network and protect your proprietary data.

Incident Response: Learn what to do in the "golden hour" after a suspected breach to minimize damage and recovery time.
