Madison Chamber Of Commerce Celebrates 75th Anniversary

MADISON, NJ - The holidays aren't over until the Madison Chamber of Commerce says it is, as the organization celebrated the end of the holiday season, and their 75th anniversary on Jan. 15.

The Madison Area Chamber of Commerce's Annual Holiday Party was held at Rocco's Bar & Grill on Cook Avenue hosted more than 50 guests who spent the evening celebrating, socializing and networking, organizers said.

"Tonight we celebrated seventy-five wonderful years of our Chamber. And give one giant salute to the thousands of dedicated and loyal Chamber members past and present,” said Karen Giambra, executive director of the Chamber.

The Madison Area Chamber of Commerce, Inc., is a non-profit organization that works to promote the economic interests of its dues-paying members and Madison. The Chamber is an independent business league that was founded in 1943 in the midst of World War II “by local citizens eager to provide outstanding customer service and civic-minded dedication to the community,” said John Morris, president of the Chamber.

During the event, Mayor Robert Conley delivered a proclamation in honor of the 75th Year Anniversary and congratulated the organization on the achievements of its members, past and present, and saluted the vital efforts made in making Madison a special place in which to visit, work, and live.
