Learn from others how membership has helped their business


"The Chamber has been and continues to be a huge asset to our business. The various opportunities to provide education and make contacts is invaluable, especially since many are free. Our Chamber truly has their finger on the pulse of what small business owners need and want. The staff is knowledgeable and and compassionate which makes us feel as if they have a stake in our success."
-- Beverly White, Measured To Fit LLC

"Our Chamber membership has paid for itself and we've only been a member for 8 months! As a new business in its first year of operation, the Chamber has not only provided us with information and resources for small businesses, but has provided numerous networking opportunities that has helped build our client base. What some people don't realize is that the Chamber is like a large family. Once you are part of the "family," you support other businesses within the family and they support you. It's an extended professional network available to you as a member, and if you take the time to take advantage of the personal and professional networking opportunities, it will help your business grow time and time again. Our business has received support and assistance, not only from the dedicated Chamber staff, but also from many members of the Chamber looking to help a fellow member out. I love being a member of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, and highly recommend it to businesses trying to decide whether or not to join, especially small businesses. The cost of membership is an investment with quite a large return!"

"I would like to take this time and acknowledge the wonderfully dedicated staff of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, and say how truly appreciative I am of the services that they have offered to my business as well as the businesses of the Hudson Valley. The Dutchess Regional Chamber has helped our local business to thrive during a time when most are truly struggling. Personally there have been several other businesses that they have been able to help me become associated with so that my business has continued to not only thrive but succeed to grow. Just to name a few: Scott from Geeks To Go; Ben from Atlas Star; Party’s by Tomas; Sally and everyone at Main Printing; EmroidMe … and these are just to name a few of the local business that the Dutchess Regional Chamber have connected me with and have helped my business become what I can say it is today. So it is with sincerest gratitude that I thank Charles North and the complete staff of the Dutchess Regional Chamber for always thinking locally first and helping our community and business prosper!”
-- Donna M. Mills, Complete Benefit Solutions Inc. (COBESO)

"I am amazed at the opportunities the Chamber has provided me both personally and professionally. One of the most beneficial opportunities I had was participating as a Table Host at a chamber event. Not only did I meet ten new friends, but gained four new clients as a result of this chance meeting. Taking advantage of the many events sponsored by the Chamber, I have quickly acclimated to being a new business owner in the community.”
-- Jen Dunn, Jen Dunn State Farm

“Thank you for the very special ribbon cutting at RiverWinds Gallery. We can't thank you enough for your kind words and great event. At times you got us all teary eyed... your words and your kindness meant a great deal to us. The arts are a tough business, but can do so much for a community and its economy. We have worked very hard to promote our artists and to promote Beacon. Your recognition of our efforts meant a great deal to us. Please extend our thanks to your staff and all who came to the event!”
-- Linda, Virginia and Mary Ann, RiverWinds Gallery in Beacon


“Although we have only been a Dutchess Chamber Member for a short period of time, we are very pleased with the results we are already seeing. (Director of Membership) Christine Desmoni has guided and encouraged us from the start to participate in the Chamber events, which have proven to be a great networking tool for our business. She has also been an integral part in making the other members aware of our business by creating valuable introductions and public awareness. Everyone at the Chamber has been more than helpful and truly genuine in their concern for our business' growth.”
-- Marian Odenwald, Village Apothecary

“As a sole proprietor, my chamber membership has given me a wonderful sense of community and camaraderie. There is a real desire amongst my colleagues to help each other succeed in achieving our individual business goals. The chamber and its amazing staff facilitates this interaction and support through the various events, programs, and committee work offered. This support in turn has stimulated the growth of my young business in a huge way, and put me in touch with the right people to serve my clients best.”
