There are just two weeks left before our 2nd Annual Business Showcase and there are a very limited number of spaces left, but there still are some and we don't want anyone to be left out of this one. That leads me to the Showcase Showdown. Just like the Price is Right, there will be a showdown on April 17th and it won't be with the IRS. The showdown will be with yourself when you realize that you missed out on the opportunity to display at the Business Showcase.  This year, the event is being held at Novella's, New Paltz. If you haven't been there yet, this is your chance to see what they have done. I'd tell you what it looks like, but you really need to see it for yourself - you will walk away impressed. We wanted to bring the event to New Paltz and Novella's is the perfect venue. Our lineup of speakers is as diverse as our Membership. You can listen and learn from: - Myriam Bouchard of the Small Business Development Center
- Brian Tietje, LinkedIn Evangelist
- Alan Heyman of SMLR Group
- Kelly Morrissey Gamma of SERVPRO
- Abe Uchitelle of Dragon Search Marketing
- Ted Clark, Lecturer of Marketing and Strategy at SUNY New Paltz.
How is THAT for a great lineup? Thank you for sharing your expertise with us - we anticipate a packed house for these interactive sessions. Thank you as well to the great businesses and organizations that will be exhibiting at the Showcase. We are dedicated to bringing in a lot of B2B traffic and expanding our B2C presence as well with great marketing to our Regional Community. We are working hard to make this event just like our other events-the standard bearer. If we touch it, we own it and we want it to be the best out there. We have two great Sponsors for the 2014 Business Showcase in Wallkill Valley Federal Savings and Loan and The Nevele. We thank you for supporting us early as we developed our lineup, secured the venue and brought on exhibitors. We look forward to giving back to you by putting on a great Showcase. To bring this full circle and channel the Price is Right energy - don't get left out of the Business Showcase. There is still time to "place your bet". Bet on the 2014 Business Showcase, bet on your New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce!
See you at the Chamber!  Peter Ingellis Interim President
