Heather Wirtz, Chief Experience Officer at Richwood Bank, led a workshop for Chamber members on March 22 to help walk through the process of strategic planning. She shared the 6 Iron Laws of Strategy and provided valuable information on the best ways to think about your organization holistically to achieve greater success. Special thanks to Heather and the Richwood Bank team for an excellent Lunch & Learn!

Congratulations AlerStallings & Golden Reserve! We hosted a ribbon cutting for these two businesses on March 22 to recognize their new offices at 139 S. Opera Street in Bellefontaine. AlerStallings and Golden Reserve each play an important role in helping people entering retirement to protect their assets and investments. AlerStallings, a law firm with over 30 locations, opened its second office in Bellefontaine years ago to offer estate planning and elder care law services to Logan County residents. Golden Reserve retirement planners help clients in or near retirement protect their assets from excessive tax burdens, market risk, and investment fees.

As Golden Reserve retirement planner Todd White shared, “We see life as a mountain; you spend the first part of your life climbing the mountain, and reach retirement at the peak. We want to help people on the journey back down.”

Congratulations to the teams of AlerStallings and Golden Reserve on your new location!
