Shaping the future of Business in yellow springs
YS Chamber to Be Represented at 2026 Chamber Pros Online Conference
The Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be represented at the 2026 Chamber Pros Online Conference by President & CEO Phillip O’Rourke, October 6–8.
The three-day virtual conference brings chamber professionals from across the United States and around the world together for practical training, shared ideas, and conversations focused on the issues, opportunities, and evolving needs facing chambers today. Through educational sessions and peer discussion, participants have the opportunity to learn from industry leaders while exchanging experiences and approaches with professionals working in communities across the country.
Phillip will participate in the conference as both a chamber professional and featured presenter, leading a session titled “Trusting Yourself Enough to Lead: Impact Is an Inside Job.” The session will explore the personal side of leadership and the role self-trust plays in leading with intention and creating meaningful impact.
“I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to share this conversation with fellow chamber professionals. Leadership is deeply personal, and the impact we make often begins with trusting ourselves enough to lead with intention. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned, and learning from the experiences & perspectives of others.”
