letter from the president Dear Chamber Member, We know the Hudson Valley business community knows a thing or two about change and transition. In a rapidly changing business climate, it is important to continually reassess our ability to communicate effectively and to ensure that our communication tools perform as well as they possibly can. We have already made some drastic changes in how we communicate with our membership; our weekly Event Reminder e-mails and presence on Facebook and Twitter allow you to stay current with our events and announcements almost in real time. After a closer look at our print publications, we have determined that a transition is needed to improve their performance and increase their benefit to you, our members. The New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that we are teaming up with Luminary Publishing, publishers of Chronogram, to produce three new publications. Regional Report, a quarterly business magazine. Our monthly newsletter (previously Regional Update) will transition to a quarterly business-to-business magazine, including timely and relevant editorial content in addition to announcements of new and renewing members and the popular member updates. Sojourn, a seasonal guide to the mid-Hudson Valley. Our annual publication (previously Regional Guide) will also transition to a quarterly publication, and will provide visitors with up-to-date, qualitative and entertaining stories and information from around the Hudson Valley region. Membership Directory. Our Membership Directory will still be published annually but now as a standalone publication, making it more accessible to locals and visitors alike, who use the Directory to locate community-minded businesses who meet their needs. These exciting changes will have a direct benefit for you, your business and our entire membership. Our print publications have always served us well; in their new formats, they will be positioned to serve us better in a new communications era. You will now have the opportunity to more finely target your message in Regional Report, our quarterly B to B magazine; Sojourn, our quarterly guide to visiting the mid-Hudson Valley and/ or our annual Membership Directory. As a valued Chamber member, you automatically have a listing in the Membership Directory. Please take a moment to consider reserving display advertisement space in these new publications to increase the impact of your message. We look forward to your continued support and your participation in this new family of New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce publications. Sincerely, Joyce Minard, President New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce
