At TolHouse, our mission has always been to create a space where Toledo’s entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals can connect, grow, and thrive. As we step into 2025, we are excited to introduce our words of the year: Partnership and Professional Development. These guiding themes reflect our renewed focus on fostering collaboration, empowering our Members, and aligning with the growth and transformation of our region.

Partnership: Building a Shared Canvas

TolHouse has always been more than a social club—it’s a collective space where ideas come to life, talents are showcased, and relationships are forged. In 2025, we are amplifying this vision by emphasizing Partnership, inviting our Members to take a more active role in shaping our programming.

We never intended for TolHouse to produce every event, workshop, or experience alone. Instead, we envision the House as a canvas for our Members—a platform where they can share their gifts, passions, and expertise. Whether you’re a musician wanting to host a listening party, an entrepreneur eager to share insights, or a wellness coach planning a seminar, TolHouse is here to help make your vision a reality.

This year, you’ll see more Member-led and influencer-hosted events that reflect the diversity and talent of our community. By collaborating with you, we aim to create programming that feels uniquely us—authentic, innovative, and tailored to the needs and interests of our Members.

Professional Development: Elevating Your Potential

While TolHouse is a space for connection and leisure, it’s also a place where ambition thrives. We know that many of our Members are here as part of Corporate Memberships, seeking a sophisticated environment to work, meet, and grow professionally. That’s why Professional Development will be a cornerstone of our 2025 programming.

From leadership workshops to fireside chats with industry pioneers, we’ll provide more opportunities for you to learn, network, and sharpen your skills. Imagine attending seminars on emerging business trends, participating in mentorship circles with fellow Members, or joining skill-building sessions that help you stay ahead in your career. These experiences are designed to support you, whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, launching your own venture, or exploring new professional horizons.

What to Expect in 2025

Here’s a preview of how these themes will come to life:

  • Member-Driven Events: Collaborate with our team to host workshops, panels, or social experiences that reflect your passions and expertise.
  • Signature Professional Development Series: Monthly talks, seminars, and networking sessions featuring leaders in business, arts, and innovation.
  • Mentorship Opportunities: Connect with seasoned professionals within the TolHouse community to gain guidance and build lasting relationships.
  • Enhanced Workspaces: Improvements to our meeting and coworking spaces, making them even more conducive to productivity and collaboration.

Your House, Your Vision

Partnership and Professional Development are not just words—they are a call to action. We’re here to empower you to make TolHouse your own and to provide you with the resources and opportunities you need to excel. Whether you’re hosting a unique event or attending a seminar that inspires your next big idea, 2025 is about co-creating a space where we all grow together.

As we embark on this journey, we invite you to share your ideas and get involved. Let’s make TolHouse the beating heart of Toledo’s cultural and professional renaissance. After all, this is your House—a place where you belong, create, and thrive.
