Chamber Breakfast Featuring County Executive, Marcus Molinaro

This event is sponsored by Marshall & Sterling Insurance. Chamber members and guests will need to pre-register for the March Contact Breakfast by visiting dcrcoc.org or calling 845.454.1700 x 1000. Advanced tickets are $25 for members and $35 for non-members.

Marcus J. Molinaro was elected as Dutchess County’s 7th County Executive in November 2011. Upon taking office, he sought to create a comprehensive economic development strategy, one that more aggressively attracts and retains private sector companies and jobs. Since 2012, Marc and his administration have transformed the way County Government does business – making it smaller, smarter, and more effective. Marc has been leader on Open Space Protection and Farmland Preservation, an advocate to preserve the Hudson River Valley Greenway and a supporter of the Greenway Compact. In 2015, Marc launched “Think Differently,” an initiative to ensure equal access and service, along with greater outreach, to those living with special needs and developmental disabilities. Now, nearly 100 communities across New York are implementing the “Think Differently” principles.
