A Message From Angelo R. Martinelli,
Chairman
Welcome to our Web Site, another
milestone in this organization's illustrious century-plus history as a
nerve center of the business community.
The Yonkers Chamber of Commerce was
formed in 1893 as a Board of Trade. The organization grew with such
intensity that, only 10 years later, it was expanded to a full chamber
of commerce. Our mission has always remained true to the wishes of our
founding fathers; for more than a century, we have been shepherding
the business community, preserving its past and preparing its future.
This Site is yet the latest extension of this mission.
The Chamber is the voice of business
in Yonkers; it never hesitates to speak out in support of measures
that will facilitate doing business here, or to oppose those acts (or
lack thereof) that may impair or threaten the vitality of Yonkers
businesses.
We have partnered with numerous
government entities and business organizations to form a network
extending into every segment of business society. Functioning "personally"
as a one-to-one business counselor comes as easily to us as
representing an entire industry.
As the new century approaches, this
Site is the most recent incarnation of our efforts to always assist
the process of doing business in any way we can.
We thank your for your interest in our
members, our community and our Chamber!
Sincerely,
Angelo R. Martinelli
