Hello Fellow Members,

This month marks the start of a new year for the Chamber!

 

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you for the tremendous support and help I get from our membership. It is an honor to be serving as your Executive Director.

This past year certainly was very exciting, productive and successful! Patchogue continues to grow and the attention we are getting is unprecedented. Patchogue received more positive media attention that I have ever seen in my lifetime as a resident. Each street festival we held had the largest attendance and participation in their respective histories. We took on working hand in hand with the Village to address the parking challenges created by our new popularity and added a valet service (see below for details).  We added new committees and groups within our ranks, including our Hispanic Business Leaders Group. Our membership continues to grow to an all-time high and we continue to increase the number of membership gatherings and networking events. 

Without question, we have become Long Island's most active and productive Chamber. That is in large part thanks to all our members who participate, volunteer and assist in putting together our many events and initiatives.

If you have not done so already, join a committee and make the most of your membership while also helping your Chamber continue to grow. As always, never hesitate to reach out to me with an idea, suggestion or initiative you may have.
  

David Kennedy

Executive Director
