Congratulations to the Leadership Wooster Class of 2026! On Wednesday evening, we were proud to celebrate the 29th Leadership Wooster Commencement at the beautiful Wooster Country Club , recognizing an exceptional group of emerging leaders dedicated to making a positive impact in our community.
A special thank you to our longtime sponsor, Farmers National Bank, for helping make both this transformative program and memorable evening possible. Your continued investment in Leadership Wooster helps strengthen the future of our community through leadership development and connection.
The evening opened with welcoming remarks from Samira Zimmerly and an invocation by Jon Hutchison. Guests also heard an inspiring keynote from Dr. Sharon Marcanthony of Bloomington Women’s Care, who shared how Leadership Wooster shaped her personal and professional journey, the meaningful relationships she built through the program, and her path to becoming board president.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated Leadership Wooster Steering Committee for their guidance, encouragement, and commitment throughout this class’s experience. Because of your support, the program continues to grow and thrive year after year.
Leadership Wooster exists to engage and empower current and future leaders who are passionate about strengthening our community. The Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce is proud of the Class of 2026 and excited to see the lasting impact they will make through their leadership, service, and community involvement. Here’s to continued growth, new opportunities, and the next generation of leaders helping shape the future of Wooster!
