Area chamber of commerce officially changes name

BORDENTOWN, N.J. – In order to better reflect their geographic coverage area, the Northern

Burlington Regional Chamber of Commerce has recently changed its name to Burlington Mercer Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber President Bill Ryan announced this official name change last Thursday night at their Pi Day Business Networking Special Event held at the Scottish Rite Hall in Bordentown.

The Chamber has served the Burlington-Mercer county areas for more than 40 years, with its commitment to providing affordable networking opportunities and special events to connect their members with customers in those areas.

Even though the new name better reflects their geographic coverage areas, Ryan said they also have members who have joined from Bucks, Monmouth and Ocean counties, in order to also promote their businesses to a wide variety of diverse, engaged business people.

Not only does the Chamber help its predominantly small and mid-sized chamber members, but it also has a huge impact on local communities by donating thousands of dollars annually to local non-profits and awarding business and art scholarships each June to area high school seniors.

The affordable annual membership is $125. The Chamber also hosts many events that are free or discounted for its members.

Both Chamber members and all other businesses are warmly welcomed to monthly networking breakfasts or luncheons, evening networking events, a Business Expo, the Hidden Treasures Scholarship Calendar, and the Bordentown Street Fair each May.

Their next event will be the Evening Business to Business Networking Event scheduled for March 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Hamilton Tap and Grill.

There are several avenues for involvement with this Chamber. And, at this time they are accepting nominations for two open seats for their Board of Directors.
