2018 Bronx Business Directory & Business Guide - by Nunzio Del Greco

I am very proud to announce that the 2018 Bronx Business Directory & Resource Guide of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce has been published and will be distributed free to members. The 2018 Business Directory is our 2nd annual publication and a historic milestone. The borough of The Bronx has never had such a comprehensive publication printed. The Bronx Business Directory & Resource Guide features a wealth of valuable information including alphabetical listings with complete contact information of Chamber members; listings by categories products or services; company advertisements; complete contact information of all Bronx elected officials; the “Value of Membership;” Timeline of the Bronx through the Centuries; New York City Resources contact information; and much more.

Publishing the 2018 Bronx Business Directory & Resource Guide, I believe, continues to fulfill an important need and service for the Chamber membership and the Bronx business community. There is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from current and new members regarding the Business Directory. Over 85 new companies or organizations have joined the Bronx Chamber in the past 12 months. They see and understand the value and importance of the printed directory in addition to the many benefits of Bronx Chamber membership for small to large companies or organizations. As a courtesy to new companies that join during 2018, an addendum will be updated each month and included with the Directory as they are distributed.

The Directory will be distributed to more than 2,500 member businesses, new businesses, and select governmental offices. It will also be distributed at Bronx Chamber of Commerce events throughout the year. Membership in 2018 will significantly increase as more and more businesses see and understand the value of membership in the Bronx Chamber of Commerce. Since January 2017, over 60 workshops, seminars, job and interview fairs and networking events for members, non-members and businesses.  The 2018 calendar of events will continue to offer more opportunities to network, share information and help small to large business generate more business referrals and leads to new clients or customers.
