Dear Members of the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce,

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your ongoing support, partnership, and engagement with the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce. Your commitment to our mission and to the vitality of the Hunterdon County business community makes all our work possible.

Since 1916, the Chamber has proudly served as the leading and largest advocate for businesses in Hunterdon County. We are your seat at the table—amplifying the voice of our local business community to civic, governmental, and institutional leaders. Your investment in the Chamber strengthens this collective voice and ensures that the needs and priorities of our business community are heard.

In 2025, we continued to build on that legacy with meaningful accomplishments and important milestones. From expanding our advocacy initiatives to enhancing our programming, events, and strategic partnerships, this year reaffirmed the strength of collaboration across our county.

With more than 500 members and deep relationships across all levels of community leadership, the Chamber remains committed to fostering relationships that get results. This year, we continued to provide abundant opportunities for productive connections—bringing businesses together, strengthening partnerships, and opening doors for meaningful engagement.

We also advanced our mission to equip members with resources to support your success. Our diverse and continually evolving menu of programs—including SCORE business counseling, Leadership Hunterdon, Young Professionals of Hunterdon County, Women Business Leaders Forum, the Hunterdon County Center for Business & Entrepreneurship, and the Hunterdon County Chamber Foundation—remains central to the professional growth and long-term vitality of our business community.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are energized by new opportunities to deliver even more value to our members. We will continue strengthening economic development efforts, expanding access to education and business resources, and championing the interests of Hunterdon County’s business community at every level.

As we enter this festive season, I also invite you to join us for two cherished celebrations:

The 2025 Hunterdon Holiday Parade, on Saturday, December 6, 2025, a beloved community tradition that captures the spirit, pride, and unity of Hunterdon County.

Our Annual Hunterdon Holiday Party, on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the year’s accomplishments with fellow members and community partners.

This season reminds us of the importance of gratitude, community, and shared purpose. On behalf of the entire Chamber team, thank you for the trust you place in us and for your investment in strengthening the economic and civic vitality of Hunterdon County.

Wishing you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with joy, peace, and time with loved ones.

With gratitude,
Christopher J. Phelan
President & CEO
Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce
