Nurturing Community For Over A Century. 
Connect.  Communicate.  Collaborate.

      

  

We make New Year resolutions with the best of intentions, but so often, by January 2nd they're already out the window.  Many times, this is because we don't make a plan for ourselves. 

This year, why not try something a little different?  Resolve to put your best foot forward for your business success by networking as much as you can.  And we have the solution to that "not planning ahead" issue. 

Below, you'll find all of the networking events that your New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce has planned for the first quarter of 2014 (and then some).  Planning your calendar is as easy as clicking the RSVP links or calling the office at 845-255-0243 and we'll sign you up.

Here's wishing you a year of prosperity through networking.  See you at the Chamber!

Sincerely,
