COLUMBIANA, Ohio – Zach King, executive director of the Columbiana Area Chamber of Commerce, and Guy Coviello, president and CEO of the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, highlighted the impact of the annual Harvey Awards and a new regional partnership between the two organizations.

The 73rd annual Harvey Awards recognized seven businesses, nonprofits and community leaders for their contributions in 2025, continuing a tradition inspired by industrialist Harvey Firestone and the region’s legacy of innovation and collaboration.

King said the event shines a spotlight on individuals and organizations that often work behind the scenes to strengthen their communities, while reinforcing the importance of service, leadership and local engagement.

Coviello pointed to a new affiliation agreement between the two chambers, which took effect Jan. 1, as a major step toward strengthening regional collaboration. The partnership is designed to expand services for members, improve operational efficiency and increase the chambers’ collective influence on public policy at both the state and federal levels.

Leaders say the combined efforts will help support businesses across Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties while promoting the region as a strong place to live, work and grow.
