“While attending a recent meeting of the Government Affairs & Economic Development Council I was impressed to see how the Chamber can really work as an advocate for its members both large and small. Seeing a local businessperson find the support they so needed was a reminder there are greater benefits to being a member than networking and social functions.”

“My decision to join the Utica Chamber and The Catalyst Group was monumental in helping me dive into the local community via Chamber events, connections and their overall guidance. I would not be as acclimated in CNY as I am today, if it weren’t for the Utica Chamber and Catalyst. I’m also quite thankful for the friendships I’ve built within the group of people that make up membership. They are my best resources and support system.”
