T
he Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) recently appointed
Gahanna Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman, Betty Collins, as their newest
member of its Board of Trustees.
The CIC is a not-for-profit corporation created by the State of Ohio for the
purpose of advancing, encouraging and promoting the industrial, economic,
commercial, and civic development in Gahanna.
In order to accomplish these goals, the CIC puts together, improves upon,
and sells commercial property to businesses so they will move (or stay) in
Gahanna. Without this ability, important parcels could remain vacant or be
developed in a manner that is below Gahanna’s standards. The greatest
benefit of having a CIC is its ability to be more flexible and move more quickly
in terms of purchasing, selling, or developing land.
“We look forward to leveraging Betty’s knowledge and experience as a
financial expert in supporting the mission and growth of the CIC. It will be a
pleasure to have someone with Betty’s enthusiasm and energy on the Board
of Trustees” said George Mrus, President of the Gahanna CIC.
Betty’s active involvement with the CIC representing the Gahanna Area
Chamber of Commerce members illustrates the Chamber’s commitment to
bridging Gahanna businesses and community together, making Gahanna
even stronger.

August New Member
Breakfast Highlights
A
t the August 13 new member
breakfast sponsored by the
Creekside Conference & Event
Center Alex Freytag spoke to
attendees about The Entrepreneurial
Operating System®, or EOS®,
which is a way of doing business that uses real, simple, practical
tools entrepreneurs use to get what they want from their
businesses. He shared that EOS helps accomplish three key
things in an organization called Vision, Traction and Healthy:
1. Vision: Getting your leadership team 100% on the
same page with where you are going and how you
will get there.
2. Traction: Helping the leadership team become more
disciplined and accountable, executing really well to
help you achieve your vision.
3. Healthy: Becoming a healthy, functional, cohesive
leadership team. Because as goes your leadership
team, so goes the rest of your organization.
Alex also shared details about the EOS’ foundational tools
including the Vision Traction Organizer, the Accountability Chart,
Rocks, Level 10 meetings and the scorecard.
Other highlights included
the introduction of 33
new members from
March to July bringing
the total membership
number to 402. We are
delighted to welcome
the following companies
to the organization:
