WELCOME

Hello to our Ken-Ton Members and Community of Neighbors,

As we embark on a new year, it is with immense excitement that we present to you the 2024 Membership Directory, a testament to the vibrant tapestry of our members, their exceptional products and services, and the thriving Ken-Ton Community. We take pride in declaring that our region stands among the finest in the world – a claim that is far from an exaggeration!

From the realms of construction and accounting to the charm of restaurants, gift shops, and the vitality brought by personal trainers and rehabilitation services, our diverse membership spans every business category. Whatever your needs, our members are here to serve both your professional and personal pursuits.

At the heart of the Kenmore-Tonawanda Chamber of Commerce beats a resolute commitment to fostering the prosperity of our local businesses. In the past year alone, over 90 new businesses joined our ranks, and a significant number of our 340+ members seized the opportunities presented through grants, enriching training programs, and the invaluable networking platforms that our Chamber consistently provides.

It is our ongoing mission to serve as your conduit to the Village, Town, and County administration, ensuring our members stay abreast of new opportunities and developments. Collaborating with our members is a joy as we guide them through the currents of business trends and legislative landscapes, steering them towards success.

Here’s to forging more partnerships and cultivating a stronger sense of community that benefits all who call Ken-Ton home – a sentiment that resonates with those who live, work, and play in our vibrant locale.

Sincerely,

Catherine D. Piciulo,
President/CEO
