We’re well into the summer season, but there is so much the Chamber has to offer in the coming months. The monthly Contact Breakfast featuring Richard Ellenbogen, President of Allied Convertors, Inc. will take place on Wednesday, August 16th at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel and feature a presentation on renewable energy. The Floating Business Break will take place on August 10th – join us for the three hour cruise on the Hudson, with a Gilligan’s Island theme – this is a great event and should not be missed!
Speaking of spectacular events that are not to be missed – the 32nd Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival, presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co., will be coming to Tymor Park from September 1st – 3rd. Whether looking for hot-air balloon rides, live music and entertainment, family and children activities, amusement rides, food trucks, beer and wine tent, or fireworks – this event has it all! Make sure to join us for this weekend of fun for the whole family.
Finally, but certainly not least, nominations for the ATHENA Awards are now being accepted. What better way to recognize the leaders of the Hudson Valley that best embody the ATHENA Leadership Model. Nominate someone who captures the spirit and collaborative leadership style often exemplified in women leaders. Nominations can be submitted at dcrcoc.org/athena-leadership-awards.
