Message from our Chairwoman

In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever to be a part of Ridgefield’s Chamber of Commerce with its goal of growing commerce, culture and community.  With networking events, marketing opportunities and advocacy for a better business climate at state, local, and national levels, the Chamber seeks to maintain the wonderful quality of life in our town.  The variety of programs it offers gives its member businesses and organizations the chance to build strategic relationships and help lower the cost of doing business.  The Chamber is also focused on promoting local shopping so that our beautiful Main Street remains vibrant.

Our town of Ridgefield is a very special place because of its charm and culture, and also because of the hard work and dedication of the many people who volunteer their time to make this a great place to live.  I have spent most of my life here, and it is with great optimism that I take on the role of Chairman of the Board of the Chamber in 2012.  I will work closely with our Executive Director, Marion, and our Board to insure that we are adding value for our members, and continuing to be proactive when it comes to supporting the local economy and helping it prosper.
