OHIO CHAMBER TO DETAIL AGENDA: Linda Woggon, the vice president for governmental affairs of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, will talk about initiatives the state chamber is backing with the General Assembly this year at Wednesday’s Networking Luncheon. The cost is $15 per person and each company gets 30 seconds to introduce themselves and talk about their latest news. Networking Luncheon reservations UNITED WAY OVER THE TOP: Thanks to substantial gifts from two major employers, the United Way of Ross County was able to exceed its goal this year by 11 percent. NewPage employees pledged $53,000 and combined with the record-setting $219,000 from the PACCAR Foundation and $61,000 from Kenworth employees, the amount raised was $750,374, well above the goal of $675,000. There is still time to make a pledge that will help 17 agencies in the area: info@unitedwayross.org.
PET PEEVE WITH BWC?: When it comes to navigating the claims process at the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, problems and obstacles could stand in the way. Mary Charney wants to know about those problems or obstacles so that she can try and get answers for you at the next luncheon of the Ross County Safety Council on Feb. 9. Email Mary, a co-chairman of the council’s Steering Committee, at mcharney@adena.org who will forward them to Susan Mauk of the BWC and Dr. Jeffrey Hill of Adena, the speakers at the luncheon.
