Statement from 2019 Chamber Board Chair Theresa Agresta
 
The staff and Board of Directors of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce extend our best wishes to our friends and colleagues at both the Southern Saratoga and Capital Region Chambers of Commerce on the announcement of their "possible affiliation," announced earlier today.
 
As we have for over 100 years, the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce is proud to focus on our mission of sustaining Saratoga County’s economic success.
 
Over the past years, we’ve responded to numerous questions and concerns regarding the overlap of services from multiple chambers and economic development groups in our county and region. It is our position that the best way to collaborate for mutual success is to first make Saratoga County strong – so that our thriving businesses and institutions can help to drive the overall growth and reputation of our region.
