What Is Sláinte?

Sláinte [SLON-cha] is a friendly and welcoming
Gaelic or Celtic Toast,
similar to the English toast, "To Your Health!"

So lift your glass when you're in Historic Dublin and toast your neighbor with a hearty "Sláinte!"

 
The Historic Dublin Business Association
A message from HDBA President Bill Jacob:
A hearty Sláinte! to you from the businesses and residents of Dublin's Historic District!

In 1984 Ohio’s tourism office created the slogan, “Ohio, The Heart of It All.” It is my contention that Dublin is the Heart of Ohio. If that is the case, that puts the Dublin Historic District squarely in the center of the Universe!

Historic Dublin is a highly visible and welcoming destination. There are so many great people they need to meet and places they need to visit.
When people come to Historic Dublin they come searching for a unique and satisfying experience: It is our job to fulfill that expectation.

There are no challenges we can’t overcome if we work together. So, "get your green on", and let’s make Historic Dublin a great place in which to work, live, and play. 

Will you join us?

Bill Jacob, President
Historic Dublin Business Association

 
“The Historic Dublin Business Association is a not for profit organization comprised of business and property owners working together to promote business prosperity and to preserve and enhance the integrity of Historic Dublin.”

Email our District Coordinator Gretchen Friend to learn more or download the membership form here!
 
The HDBA is served by a Board of Directors elected to one-year terms.

Three committees oversee operations of the HDBA; each committee is headed by Board members.

We coordinate our efforts with three District Councils, which operate semi-independently of the Board. Each District Council represents a unique business sector in the Historic District.

The HDBA employs a District Coordinator to manage the daily operations of the Association.

General membership meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month - 8:30am at the Dublin Library; HDBA BoD meetings are held just prior to each General Meeting (see THE Dublin Calendar for dates)
Events/District Councils
Tim Picciano, Terry Schmitt, Anne Gleine
Marketing/Website/Orientations
Rich Taylor, Nanette Purdy
City Council/Community Relations/District Enhancements
Bill Jacob/Brenda Kocak
Hospitality Council
Retail and Merchandise Council
Services and Professionals Council


All businesses within the District naturally fit into one of these Council categories; each member of HDBA is automatically a part of its appropriate Council.

Each Council can select its own Leadership Team, and can develop its own programs, activities, events and action plans.

Councils exist to support the other Councils and are encouraged to coordinate and partner with the other Councils where it makes sense.

Councils may request direct endorsement from the HDBA Board including funding.

All Councils are in need of active participants and volunteers as part of their Leadership Teams.
 
There's strength in numbers - join the HDBA and enjoy these and many other benefits:

- Group Marketing and Promotion

- Networking Opportunities

- Representation to the City of Dublin with a Unified Voice

- Help Create a Vibrant and Prosperous Historic District
