Dutchess Chamber Announces 2023 Corporate Sponsors
Stephanie Werskey, Communications Specialist
As the New Year begins, I would like to take a moment to give encouragement, a few reasons to join, and easy ways to get involved in the Chamber.
Frank Castella, Jr., President & CEO
First and foremost, wishing all a Happy and Healthy New Year! With the turn of the calendar we get to reset and reengage with the community. Hopefully, everyone will have the opportunity to get the most out of the region and visit your local businesses to see what the area has to offer.
Gregory White, Chamber Board Chair
At the Chamber, we are particularly appreciative of the support we receive from our members. We welcomed more than 165 new members in 2022! With additional members as a part of the Chamber it enables us to continue expansion of benefits and hence value of what the organization provides.
Frank Castella, Jr. President & CEO
Committees are integral throughout the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber Foundation. The committees range in purpose and focus and they have the best and brightest to carry out the mission. We thank them for the time and expertise they provide – and encourage others to join them. Whether you would like to be more involved with government initiatives, nonprofit, women’s leadership, or help develop younger professionals, there is a committee for you.
Gregory White, Chamber Board Chair
Welcome to autumn, and all of what our region has to offer! This month I’d like to highlight several events that honor those that look beyond themselves and help make the Hudson Valley a great place to work and live.
Frank Castella, Jr., President & CEO
November brings Small Business Saturday on November 26th – an opportunity to show support for local businesses. Thinking local first keeps resources within the Hudson Valley, helping small businesses thrive. Find something unique while also supporting your community, whether it is a vinyl record from Darkside Records or some wonderful holiday décor from Adams Fairacre Farms (shameless plug), now is a great time to shop and Think Local First.
Gregory White, Chamber Board Chair
The Chamber Foundation, Inc.—the leadership and community advancement organization of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce—is happy to announce this year's honorees for the ATHENA Award.

As we transition in the year to fall and winter, it seems a perfect time to take stock of the state of our personal health and wellness, along with our business’. There are a variety of resources these days to help us be more aware of our health goals, whether those are physical, mental, or financial, and the Chamber is proud to be a part of this trend.
Frank M. Castella, Jr., President and CEO
Are you a mid-to senior-level manager, nonprofit administrator, or entrepreneur seeking to develop advanced leadership and communications skills to move your organization and career forward? For 2023, consider leveling up with The Chamber Foundation’s Executive Leadership program. Executive directors, sole proprietors, and high-potential career managers who are being developed for senior roles will also benefit from this program.
