Member-Only Opportunity: Share Ideas & Hear What's New
Let's talk! We've created exclusive opportunities for our members to connect, share their insights, and be the first to hear about exciting new developments.
To keep you updated on the latest opportunities, the Ohio Travel Association offers its members an opportunity to gather online every month to talk about the hottest topics. Each Zoom conversation starts with a guest speaker sharing information. Then you have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas.
All Ohio Travel Talks begin at 11 a.m. and are free and exclusive to OTA members.
Coming up! Community Collaboration & Partner Engagement – Ohio Humanities
Your downtown is more than a collection of storefronts; it’s the story of your history and the heartbeat of your community. On March 18, join David Merkowitz of Ohio Humanities for an engaging session of Ohio Travel Talks. We’ll explore how Main Street partnerships—and the power of the humanities—breathe life into historic spaces, preserve the stories that define us, and unlock new economic doors through grants and shared resources.
Don’t miss this chance to see how collaboration can elevate your community’s cultural soul and economic future.
