Farmingdale Chamber Of Commerce Swears In New President

Joseph Garcia, the manager of Weichert Realtors, was recently sworn in as the new president of the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce.

Garcia's one-year term began on Jan. 1. As the president of the chamber, he is responsible for leading the village's main business association. Garcia, a Farmingdale resident, has been a member of the Farmingdale Chamber for two years, and served on the Board of Directors last year.

“I am truly honored to be named board president for the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce,” said Garcia. “I’ve been fortunate to serve on this board for the past year and look forward to continuing to work with other board members while serving in a leadership role.”

Garcia has been a licensed real estate agent for 15 years, during which time he has helped his father, Anthony, and brother, Jared, grow their family business into one of the area’s most successful independent real estate agencies. The Garcias joined the Weichert franchise system last year to help further grow the business, a move that Joseph Garcia strongly supported.

Also sworn in as new board members were Suzanne LoBiondo, owner of Suzanne M. LoBiondo, CPA P.C.; Joseph Sorce of Bragoli & Associates, P.C.; and Ken Marcus of Marcus Family Agency — Allstate Insurance Co.
