Upstate N.Y.’s New Advocate for Regional Business

Tania Kohut on Friday, May 1, 2015 at 12:00:00 am

The memberships of the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber and the Chamber of Schenectady County have voted to integrate into one umbrella organization: the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce. According to an article in Albany Business Review, the move forms "the largest chamber in the Albany, New York region" that will serve regional business interests and provide broad-based member services. Both chambers will exist as affiliate members of the Capital Region Chamber. They will operate with their own identities and boards, and continue to present locally-focused programs and provide issue advocacy at the local level.

 
Integration of the two chambers will occur over the coming months. The Capital Region Chamber will have nearly 3,000 members, representing more than 140,000 employees. Mark Eagan, president and CEO of the Albany-Colonie chamber, will be CEO; Chuck Steiner, president and CEO of the Schenectady chamber will serve as president.
