Summer Is Prime Time For Building Your Business
/
The Huntington Chamber of Commerce is located on main street in huntington village.
Summertime is a great opportunity to focus on and build your business. The Huntington Chamber offers events and an abundance of vibrant committees which provide a great platform to become involved with Long Island’s business and community leaders and to showcase your business.
There are many ways to become involved with the chamber and display your business talent and expand your business network. Consider attending or sponsoring the chamber’s signature events, become part of a committee and connect with other business professionals with similar interest, attend any of the year-round seminars and breakfast programs or Business After Hours events.
“The Chamber offers a welcoming and supportive environment for personal development, community stewardship and business networking,” said Chairman Bob Scheiner. “The chamber committees are a great resource and offer unique opportunities to engage with fellow members to improve the business climate and quality of life in our community.”
Huntington Chamber committees include:
Education Committee: Provides valuable programs, workshops and seminars critical to small-business owners, as well as corporate leaders with the newest information for employers and employees to utilize in the workplace.
Green Committee: Educates and promotes sustainable green initiatives for chamber members in an effort to assist them in continually improving business practices and processes that help to reduce the impact to the environment.
