Business Education Committee
Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation at New Paltz

Mission Statement: To provide the membership and the Hudson Valley Community with educational opportunities to foster business and personal success.

The Business Education Committee serves the membership and community of the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce through:

Workshops and Seminars

Learn new or needed skills, or improve your current business practices. Past Chamber workshops have included "Magnetic Customer Service," "The ABCs of PEOs," "QuickBooks Basics," and "Use the Internet to Advertise, Promote and Market Your Business Effectively."

Our next Business Education Workshop will be a panel discussion entitled "How To Prosper In A Recession" which will be held on Friday, May 30, 2008 from 9:00a.m. - 11:00 a.m. at the School of Business, van den Berg Hall, room 110, at the State University of New York at New Paltz.Please call the office (845-255-0243) to register.

You can also offer a workshop through the Chamber – an affordable way to share your knowledge, promote your business, and grow your network of resources. The Chamber works with you to promote your workshop electronically, in print and in person at Chamber events, and handles registration and inquiries.

Educational Scholarships

The Business Education Committee believes strongly in life-long learning and appreciates the financial challenges often encountered in continuing education. Since 2004 the Business Education Committee has offered two educational scholarships annually to promote higher learning. Two $750 scholarships will be awarded in 2008. Recipients of these scholarships have included high school students pursuing undergraduate degrees, an adult pursuing paramedic training, and an adult pursuing advanced studies in massage and alternative health therapies.

Informational Forums

The Business Education Committee has initiated two ongoing discussion groups through the Chamber – the Chamber Pundit Roundtable and the Bed & Breakfast Discussion Group – to facilitate sharing timely information and ideas among Chamber members who share a common business or interest. Each group meets on a monthly basis. If you would like to start a discussion group, contact the Business Education Committee by e-mailing info@newpaltzchamber.org.
