Greetings chamber members, it is truly an honor to reach out to you as president of this organization. The Red Hook Area Chamber of Commerce is a business that supports all businesses in Red Hook, Tivoli, and their encompassing areas.

With that in mind we are committed to help the chamber grow to its full potential. We have worked through a few internal obstacles, along with a difficult economy, over the past year. This experience has made us stronger and we are poised to take the next proactive steps toward greater success.

 We will get to the next level by enhancing our communication. Communication is a key element for success in any business, or personal relationship for that matter.  We will ensure the relationship between local government and the business community is open and interactive by continuing to cultivate relationships with government officials. The chamber will be an advocate for local businesses and keep you well connected through our ever-growing website, newsletter, and monthly membership meetings.  

Many thanks to our past president Susan Simon and the 2009 Board of Directors. Their dedication and hard work allowed us to get through a difficult year. Those efforts will not go to waste. Our chamber will continue a solid commitment to benefit Red Hook and it's surrounding communities. If we all work together, I have no doubt we can do great things for local business. 

Very best regards,

Ed Pruitt

President, Red Hook Chamber of Commerce
