Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce Academic Partnership

Founded on November 20, 1907, the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce was created to grow our local economy.  They support our local businesses through events such as the annual Business Expo that attracts thousands of visitors, the Contact Breakfast attended each month by more than 200, and the ever-popular Business After Hours that highlights local venues and companies. The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce also supports our community through a variety of programs offered at their Workforce Development Center. Together they believe we can make the difference for a healthy economy in which we live and work.

It has become their mission to get our community to "Think Local First!" They encourage everyone from businesspeople, tourists, and local consumers, to spend their money with our local businesses and service providers that have a vested interest in what the Hudson Valley becomes so that we can keep our community bonded together and remain a destination unlike any other.

As a way of saying "thank you" to Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce volunteers and employees, as well as the employees of their active member organizations, Marist is offering special tuition pricing to the employees and their immediate adult family members.
