Start your day with a little productive and profitable networking!

The featured speaker is Gordie Faulkner who will talk about the evolution and expansion of Catskill Mountains Junior Golf program. The comprehensive program maximizes the learning experience, yet keeps the game simple and fun. 

Faulkner is a PGA Pro, eager to introduce golf to young people who are the future to the game of golf

Chamber Lobbies for Businesses in Albany

Chamber staff were at the state Capitol on Tuesday, March 19 to advocate for a healthier business climate for our members as part of NFIB's (National Federation of Independent Businesses) Small Business Day.

While there, Chamber President Ray Pucci and Program Manager Lillian Browne met with Assemblyman Brian Miller and Senator Jim Seward to lobby against the proposed expansion of a prevailing wage requirement that appears in an Assembly and Senate Bill that are both currently in committee. An expansion of the requirement to include all public monies, including grant funds and IDA loans or PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreements, would cripple economic growth in Delaware County.

Staff also lobbied for the permanency of the state's  two-percent property tax cap which would not only lessen the tax burden for Delaware County business owners but would, in turn, benefit all Delaware County real property owners.
