The Hoboken Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its Board of Directors, overall Membership, and Chamber programming.
On July 6th, the Board elected the following 5 new members: Norma DeRuggierio (Broker/Manager, DeRuggiero Realtors); Spiros Hatiras (CEO, Hoboken University Medical Center); restaurantor David Jacey (Owner, Black Bear, Whiskey and Bahama Mama); Richard Mackiewicz, Esq.; and Adam Kilpatrick (VP, Club H Fitness)
As a long standing leader of the Hoboken Bar and Restaurant community, new Board Member Jacey looks forward to helping the Board. "Working together with a full cross section of Hoboken business types creates a great partnership. Retailers like myself can learn a lot from the professional and institutional leaders, and we can help them in significant ways in reverse."
