Congratulations to Our

Member of the Week

Thank You

We are grateful for our members and partners all year long, but especially during this season of gratitude and giving. Without you, our work would not be possible!

We also extend our thanks to the many donors, sponsors, volunteers, bidders, attendees, hosts, and staff who supported our M & T Bank Great Big Chamber Auction last week - you made a difference and helped ensure a successful event.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and restful Thanksgiving week!

Our offices will be closed from 3 pm on Wednesday through 9 am Monday.

We look forward to seeing you at our last Business After Hours of the year! Join the festivities with the Chamber & Tompkins Connect. More details to come soon!
