Don’t Miss This Year’s Business Expo
BY THOMAS GRECH
CHAMBER PRESIDENT & CEO
Summer has finally arrived, and the Queens Chamber is in full bloom! We have a myriad of events to pack your calendar and grow your business, so be sure to engage with us all summer long.
First, I want to wish a very heartfelt “thank your” to our outgoing chairperson, Mayra DiRico. Not only do I want to make note of Mayra being the first female, foreign-born (Cuba) chairperson of the Queens Chamber, but I want to congratulate her on her passion and energy. Thank you for everything, Mayra!
From outgoing to incoming, it is my pleasure to introduce Thomas J. Santucci as the new chairperson of the Chamber. Tom has been a fixture here in Queens and beyond, and we look forward to your leadership and continued hard work with the chamber.
