OUR STORY

DEE VAIDYA
Forum Founder

The Wayne Economic Forum was founded in January 2013 by the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership and vision of then Board Chair, Dee Vaidya. On the heels of Wayne County being recognized for seven consecutive years as a top micropolitan area in the nation for new business growth and investment, Chamber leadership committed to supporting such success by establishing an annual forum that aims to bring leaders and top executives together for sharing of business ideas, philosophies and leadership experiences. Now in its eleventh year, the Wayne Economic Forum is proud to spur thought-provoking ideas and to stimulate conversation on best business practices, all while creating connections amongst attendees.
