Because, Together, We Are Better.

Welcome to our new Board of Directors

A warm welcome is in order for our new Board of Directors. The 2010 Board was sworn in at our Annual Luncheon and State of the Town Address in January. We are excited to have them on board and look forward to working to fulfilling this year’s theme “Together, We are Better.” The Board is off to a great start, meeting with Supervisor Barry Weinstein at this month’s Board Meeting in an effort to work together to strengthen Amherst’s legacy for being a wonderful place to live, work and play. 

And in the months ahead-together-we hope to create and maintain a positive economic, political and social climate to ensure growth and prosperity for our members, as well as our region. In 2010 and beyond, we pledge to work together as an organization with you our members, businesses within our community and our elected officials to continue to effect change for the better.  Because, Together, We are Better!
