The Suburban Essex Chamber of Commerce foundation is to provide the objectives to encourage commerce, improve community and promote our local businesses. Our mission statement says it all, “a volunteer organization working together to nurture and enhance the growth and prosperity of the business community.” We formally installed our executive board and trustees on April 11th at the Chandelier in Belleville.

Every event that we sponsor involves the support of those we serve. It is these individuals with their financial support that make it happen. Platinum: Provident Bank, Clara Maass Medical Center | RWJ Barnabas Health; Silver: Bloomfield Educational Foundation, Bloomfield Lions Club; Bloomfield Window and Door, Zi Zia Pizzeria & Trattoria; Bronze: Mario Drozdz, Generazio Associates, Cecelia Polizzi, Zippo’s Mobile Electronics, Michael Bush, Agent State Farm Insurance. As always, we are incredibly grateful to have their continued assistance.
