Dear Chamber Members,

September is here, and with back-to-school season and fall calendars filling up fast, the Chamber is rolling out a packed schedule of events and new opportunities to connect. We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Network & Chill, where we’ll serve as the program’s fiscal sponsor. Network & Chill creates intentional spaces for professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community leaders to connect across industries and backgrounds, strengthening collaboration and talent attraction in the Mohawk Valley.

The first event under this partnership will be held Thursday, Sept. 4 at 7:00 p.m. at Portofino, featuring networking and community connection.

And that’s just the start! Join us for Business After Hours on Tuesday, September 23 at the Delta Hotel, the Catalyst Second Annual Disc Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 27 presented by Bank of Utica, and our Business Person of the Year presented by Staffworks on October 1, where we’ll celebrate Frank Elias of Utica Coffee. And after all of these events, you’ll definitely need some coffee!
