Enhance Your Business with Chamber Workshops

The Leadership Hanover program brings key business men and women throughout the community together in a class that is held once a month for six months. This program is designed to make future leaders more successful and provides them with the tools and opportunities they need to become skilled leaders.

Kenny Watson, Vice President at M&T Bank and recent participant of the leadership program, is new to the Hanover area and says a class like this is invaluable to someone in his situation.

“Leadership is about knowing the people that follow you, and being conscious of the people and places that made them who they are today. On a local level, leadership means understanding the culture that makes Hanover so special. I believe the most skilled leaders understand the importance of looking to the past to guide their decision-making process. Truly, Leadership Hanover is a great way to get plugged into your surroundings and ultimately make your surroundings a better place to live and work,” Watson explained.

“Overall the Leadership Hanover experience has been a great experience. From fine tuning our leadership skills, to the life-long friends and professional connections that I’ve made along the way,” said Watson.

The sentiment also holds true for Mindy Becker, Communications and Gift officer at The Brethren Home Foundation, another participant of the 2015-16 leadership program.

“My favorite memories will be the time I’ve spent with my classmates in this program. We are all from different industries and organizations, and it’s great learning from each other and about our community together. Leadership Hanover has helped me understand some of the work that is done ‘behind the scenes’, and

I have a greater appreciation for the groups and organizations who help make sure things run efficiently and effectively for the community,” said Becker.

“I would certainly recommend this program to others looking to gain a new perspective on how the Hanover area thrives. I believe everyone will gain something from this program whether they’re a Hanoverian or not.”

The current session will end in April, with the 2016-17 session beginning in October.If you would like to better your leadership skills and make important networking connections, Leadership Hanover is for you.

Hospital Celebrates Opening of New Cath Lab SuiteHanover Hospital celebrated the opening of the new Heart & Vascular Center, complete with two catheterization labs, with a ribbon cutting on Fri., Feb. 5, 2016.

The Hanover Hospital Heart & Vascular Catheterization Lab (Cath Lab) underwent a full renovation in 2012, with upgrades to the physical space, equipment and technology. The renovation allowed for the launch of the PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) program, led by Dr. David Gilbert and Dr. Gurpal Singh, in late summer 2014. The PCI program has received overwhelmingly positive response, as patients with blocked arteries no longer have to leave Hanover to get stents, angioplasties and other interventional procedures.

The success of the PCI program has led Hanover Hospital to expand the Heart & Vascular Center to include two full cath labs. For more information, visit www.hanoverhospital.org.

In addition to staff, physicians and community members, attendees included Senator Richard Alloway, Representative Kate Klunk, Mayor Ben Adams and representatives from Marshall Craft Associates and Kinsley Construction.

In May 2015, the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce unveiled The Veteran Job Vault program to assist veterans across the greater Hanover region in finding a job within the manufacturing industry.

Many manufacturing companies within the area have shown interest in the Vet Vault program. These companies are hoping to hire veterans within the community through this program. Kevin Gulden, a 21-year Air Force Veteran and Plant Manager at Utz Quality Foods spoke about the program’s success and his new hire from the Vet Vault applicant list.

“The Veteran’s Vault was a great success for Utz Quality Foods, Inc. for our first time using it. We were able to find an awesome candidate for a hard to fill position. He brought great technical skills, initiative, and work ethic and has been a valuable addition to our team.”

2nd SaturdaysWe enter into the third year of having 2nd Saturday events and hope that you will consider joining us downtown to celebrate!

The 2nd Saturday idea came about as a way to attract people to the downtown to enjoy the unique events, shopping, food & drink downtown has to offer. The idea of having businesses offer promotions and hold events during the 2nd Saturday of every month was an incentive for people to discover Hanover’s unique downtown. We encourage all of the shops to offer great deals and unique offerings all on the same day, hoping people could be attracted to come downtown and spend the whole day shopping, eating and drinking.

This year we are adding some additional events and open houses to our 2nd Saturday offerings. We truly think there is something for everyone in downtown Hanover. Discover downtown and come out shopping with us this 2nd Saturday!

March 12 is 2nd Saturday and we’re Hatching Spring! Hoping to see some new baby eaglets, stores will be welcoming spring with sales and special promotions!
