BUS INE S S - THE N E W BRONX CHAMBE R O F COMMERCE – ADV ERT I S EMENT
The New Bronx Chamber of Commerce
Working For You, Your Business, & Your Community
When you hear the term
“Chamber of Commerce,”
what comes to mind?
To some, a Chamber is a
business membership organization
that hosts networking
events; in addition to this basic
understanding, many also
recognize that the bigger-picture
goals of a Chamber are to
improve the economic, civic,
and cultural well-being of a
defi ned area via creation of
business growth opportunities.
Still others acknowledge
the importance of the Chamber’s
role as a “voice of business”
in government, advocating
for business-friendly
legislation at the city, state
and federal levels.
The New Bronx Chamber
of Commerce is all that,
and much more. Through
the darkest days of 2020, the
Chamber served as a hub of
vital resources for the Bronx
business community, working
to help Bronx businesses
survive the pandemic via:
on the ground and out of the
Chamber’s offi ce (ongoing) totaling
nearly 1 million units
to date
recovery resources including:
COVID Relief resource landing
page geared toward small
businesses, co-promoted by
the Yankees and Univision
hosted by our fi nancial and
legal members & partners to
help businesses understand
other vital sources of aid
Business COVID impact survey,
shared across the Chamber
and its partner networks
to assess the specifi c effects
of the pandemic on Bronx
business and gauge accessibility
of available grants, aid
sources, et al.
While the mandatory
“pandemic pause” disrupted
our core model of in-person
networking and events, we
focused on providing virtual
supports and developing innovative
new programs:
vocacy to address, infl uence
and publicize important information
about small business
and pandemic relief legislation
and Women Owned Business
Certifi cation and Recertifi cation
and Chamber on the Go
services
platform, the Internship Con-

off campus internship placements
and fi ll a labor need
ber Outreach program that
sadors to new member businesses,
providing additional

Chamber’s network, programs
