Dear Chamber Members,

 

Today may be the last official day of summer, but things are just heating up at the Greater Utica Chamber! As we welcome fall, we’re gearing up for two of our biggest and most impactful celebrations of the year.

 

Tickets are now available for our Business Person of the Year celebration, honoring Ross Berntson of Indium Corporation and his outstanding leadership and contributions to our region.

 

We’re also excited to announce that nominations are officially open for our Business of the Year Awards! Presented during our always-sold-out Holiday Luncheon, these awards celebrate the businesses and organizations that make Greater Utica such an incredible place to live, work, and grow. Categories include:

 

  • For-Profit Business with 50 Employees or Fewer
  • For-Profit Business with More Than 50 Employees
  • Nonprofit Organization with 50 Employees or Fewer
  • Nonprofit Organization with More Than 50 Employees
  • Catalyst Rising Business, recognizing an outstanding business operating for fewer than five years

Fall is a season of celebration—and we can’t wait to recognize the people, businesses, and organizations doing remarkable things throughout our community!

 

Kari
