Our March 2026 newsletter is here, and it’s one you won’t want to skip. This issue captures the energy and momentum we’re building to start the year, beginning with the grand opening of the Kirk Schuring Business Development Center and Marketplace on 10th Street, a major milestone for our business community.

Inside, you’ll find highlights from our Black History Month member spotlights, along with resources supporting women entrepreneurs in honor of Women’s History Month, including WBE certification and financing opportunities through the Ohio Department of Development. We’re also excited to share updates on our expansion into Wayne, Carroll, and Tuscarawas counties, as well as the launch of our CLIMB program’s first cohort of 25 businesses.

You’ll also discover upcoming events, networking opportunities, and inspiring member stories from LadyyNay’s Place and Curved Heavy/Bittersweet Physique.

Take a few minutes to explore this issue and see how SCMBA is creating opportunities, supporting growth, and strengthening businesses across our region.
