The June 3-16 issue of neighborhood newspaper Chelsea Now features a wonderful column by Tony Juliano, the chairperson of the Greenwich Village-Chelsea Chamber of Commerce. In the paper’s “In Their Own Words” column (p. 6), Mr. Juliano talks about his own journey that led him from New Jersey, where he grew up, to the city, where he has become a Chelsea business owner and an integral part of the GVCCC. He also talks about how the Chamber of Commerce functions, and what a valuable resource it can be for neighborhood businesses, community groups, non-profits and individuals. It’s an educational read and a reminder that this is a close community, one that can benefit from the GVCCC’s mission, described by Mr. Juliano this way: “The GVCCC’s mission is to provide innovative, effective programs and services that support our member businesses in four key ways:
ADVOCATE: Champion the voice of business in government and community affairs.
EDUCATE: Keep members informed on relevant issues, and provide opportunities for professional development.
NETWORK: Provide programs and events that connect members to other members, customers, suppliers, and community leaders.
PROMOTE: Market our community’s and member businesses to attract tourism, encourage new investment, and support the area’s economic growth.”
