On January 19, 2011 County Executive Robert P. Astorino will give an overview of his first year in office, talking about his three-pronged effort to provide tax relief, maintain essential services and promote economic growth, while looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities in store for 2011.

He will also talk about the county’s efforts to tout itself as the region’s “intellectual capital” and promote Westchester as the place to do business.

The Chamber of Commerce of New Rochelle and the New Rochelle Rotary Club will host the event at the Davenport Club, 400 Davenport Avenue, New Rochelle. There will be a Cocktail Hour from 6:00 to 7:00 PM with dinner starting at 7:00 PM.

Welcome to the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce website!

GREETINGS FROM OUR PRESIDENT:

Our Chamber is a volunteer organization of businesses and individuals united to promote the civic and commercial welfare of the City of New Rochelle. Just as people and communities change, so do commerce and the way we do business. Even as the complexity of the economy has left many people feeling uncertain about how to adjust their businesses to meet the future, it is also an invitation to innovation with opportunities for growth. And one of the most dynamic areas for economic growth is the Internet. It has affected commerce in ways small shopkeepers and entrepreneurs never dreamed of even a few decades ago. Now in our 69th year, the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to offer you a look at your future with us on the Internet!

Please take time to look at this site, one we promise will stay current! Push our buttons, if you will, and see how the Chamber can help you guide and grow your business. Stay abreast of our business community’s news and events and make it your place to stand out by advertising with us directly or by using our member discounted promotional Internet tools. Or maybe you would like your customers or clients to learn more about you by posting on our Facebook page or linking in on Twitter and Flickr. Check out our calendar for a listing of meetings and programs, and sign up for any of our excellent events relating to business trends, developments and resources. Find out when we gather for our famous “Open Mic” networking nights and come meet other business people and friends. You will always know when the Chamber is hosting, sponsoring or participating in events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Business Expo and the Women of Excellence dinner and our pictures will post shortly after. And our convenient online payment option (coming soon) will smooth the way for just about everything you would like to do!

These are some of the many benefits of joining the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to our Executive Director, staff and Board of Directors who have worked so hard to support our business community, grow our membership, and develop and improve member services which brought us this terrific website. We hope you will explore the site and visit it often and if you haven’t already, register for your Chamber membership today! Remember…We’re Open for Business!

Happy Holidays!
Cynthia Lobo, Esq.
President, New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce
