The Dayton Ohio EGA Chapter was formed in 1975 and is part of the Great Lakes Region.
That means we are coming closer to our 50th anniversary!
While we do meet in person, we will continue to decide on a month-by-month basis as to whether we will be having a Hybrid (in-person and Zoom) meeting or an all-virtual meeting via Zoom only.
