Nazareth Business Council- February 2020 Connections Article

Nazareth Business Council Chair

It is quite an exciting time for the Nazareth Business Council. As recently announced, we will be partnering with the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce. Combining the extensive resources of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce with the history and membership base of the Nazareth Area Chamber will create a wonderful organization. Both chambers have been focused on enhancing the businesses and community of the greater Nazareth area making this collaboration a win-win for all of the stakeholders. 


Now businesses in the Nazareth area can enjoy the benefit of a single organization providing many opportunities. With events such as Martin on Main, Fall Fest, the Tree Lighting, and Christmas in Nazareth all coordinated by one organization we can provide our collective members more benefits and increase our efficiencies. Businesses will no longer need to either choose between our groups or pay double membership fees to belong to both. The municipalities we serve will have an easier time coordinating events and resources with a single organization. 

​
We will look to maximize the strengths of each chamber. While there are still details to be resolved, I’m confident the future for the combined organization is very bright. I’m certain we’ll be much more than just the sum of our two parts. All members of the Nazareth Business Council should look forward to and embrace the opportunities that are before us. As we proceed please join me in welcoming the Nazareth Chamber Members.

Save the dates, and join in at some of our upcoming events: Wednesday, February 5th at BB&T on Broad Street, show some love at our joint mixer starting at 5:30 pm. Enjoy some light bites from the Widow’s Tavern and Grille, refreshments from Birthright Brewing and a great time as we show some love for our community by replenishing the Nazareth Food Pantry. We ask that everyone brings a non-perishable food item as a donation at the door. On Monday, February 10th we are partnering up with the Greater Bath Area Chamber once again for our annual Chocolate and Wine Pairing event at the Widow’s Tavern & Grille. Come out for live music, deliciously paired desserts with Black River Farms wines and great company.
