The Mission of Catalyst is to provide the spark to engage young professionals with the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce.
We offer our members a place to grow personally and professionally by hosting networking events, volunteering together to serve our local community, and supporting each other through business with the Chamber.
All young professionals employed by Chamber member businesses and are 40 and under are automatically members of The Catalyst Group!
There are no separate sign-ups or additional fees. Catalyst is led by a Steering Committee with task forces operating within its structure: Events, Membership, Community Action, and Social Media & Marketing.

Catalyst hosts the annual Jingle Jam FUNdraiser with music, event swag, basket raffles, drinks, food, and more.
Proceeds from the event benefit a local organization each year to provide food, clothing and toys for in-need families during the holidays.
The Catalyst Group has three task forces who focus on three different areas of the Chamber to engage young professionals: membership, events and community action.
Through engaging with young professionals, planning events, and volunteering to help in our community, these task forces encourage other professionals to get involved.
The Task Forces meet jointly, once a quarter, in conjunction with the Catalyst Steering Committee, to introduce new members who want to get involved and to discuss and plan events and volunteering efforts. Anyone under the age of 40 and works for a Chamber member is already a Catalyst member and encouraged to attend.
