CORTLAND, N.Y. — The Cortland County Chamber of Commerce has joined the CenterState Chamber Alliance.
The Cortland County Chamber joins CenterState CEO and the Cayuga County and Greater Utica Chambers of Commerce in the Chamber Alliance, “furthering the reach of the already broad regional-business community,” according to a news release the alliance issued on Thursday.
Syracuse–based CenterState CEO — a regional business-leadership, chamber of commerce, and economic-development organization — formally launched the alliance in June 2012.
The four organizations say they will actively market each other’s programs and events and promote cross-member participation.
Under the partnership, the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce will maintain its local identity, management team, board control, member-relations efforts, and services, the Chamber Alliance noted.
The Chamber Alliance offers members access to “even more” benefits and member-to-member connections, according to the news release.
The CenterState Chamber Alliance lists member benefits that include cost savings and access to training programs, regional networking opportunities, inclusion in a printed regional chamber directory, and a “unified voice for advocacy.”
“We are excited to welcome the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce as our newest partner in the CenterState Chamber Alliance,” Jane Amico, vice president of chamber services at CenterState CEO, said in the news release. “This further strengthens the reach of our alliance, and broadens the benefits all of our members receive.”
As a member of the CenterState Chamber Alliance, the Cortland County Chamber will be able to deliver more services and leadership opportunities to its members, and advance opportunities for regional growth,” the alliance contends.
“As we look to expand the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce’s regional economic-development focus, it makes sense to be part of an organization that can strengthen our members’ connections across the region,” Bob Haight, president and CEO of the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce, said in the news release. “Through this partnership, we have an amplified and more unified business advocacy voice, and can better position our members for future growth.”
The opportunity for “enhanced member-to-member connections are instrumental” as the CenterState Chamber Alliance advances the region’s economic-development strategy, the alliance said in the release.
