Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce
August Update:
Community, Politics and Business
In addition to networking, one of the Greece Regional Chamber's focus areas is education; another is advocacy on behalf of business. We are non-partisan and do not endorse candidates although we do take positions on matters of critical concern to our membership.
Business Voice Guests: Candidates James Maxwell and Joseph Morelle
We believe it is vitally important to provide information to both our membership and the community as a whole, so that they can make informed decisions. To that end, we invited both of the candidates for New York's 25th Congressional District, the seat held by the late Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, to join me on the Chamber's monthly radio show, Business Voice. Check out the August podcast of Business Voice, sponsored by Pet$aver Healthy Pet Superstore, featuring Republican Candidate Dr. James Maxell, and look for our October podcast featuring Democratic Candidate Hon. Joseph Morelle.
Listen to the August Podcast:
Congressional Candidates Forum and Reception
On Wednesday, September 19, from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, we'll be holding a special congressional candidates reception and forum, where we'll give the community a chance to meet and network informally with the candidates, along with formal remarks by both Dr. James Maxwell and Hon. Joseph Morelle. We'll be announcing the venue and opeing up registration shortly, so stay tuned!

The meeting is open to the public and scheduled to take place at the Chamber offices, 2402 W. Ridge Road, Rochester (Greece), New York.
Educational Opportunities
As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or ideas. You'll see that our fall calendar is already chock full of great educational presentations being led by a variety of experts - many of which started with an idea from a member.
