The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce was proud to join the Women's Caucus NYC Council to celebrate Women’s History Month and the power of female entrepreneurship. The highlight of the night? Celebrating our very own Board Member, Deborah Koenigsberger an official honoree! As the founder of Noir et Blanc and Hearts of Gold, Deborah is the ultimate example of a leader who builds a successful business while lifting up her community. Her recognition by Speaker Julie Menin, and Co-Chairs Gale A. Brewer and Rita Joseph was well-deserved and truly inspiring. To all the women-led businesses fueling NYC: We see your grit, we celebrate your vision, and we are honored to support your journey. #WomensHistoryMonth #ManhattanChamber #WomenInBusiness #NYCStrong #Leadership #HerStoryInAction #SmallBusiness Jessica Walker Harry C.

Small businesses are the heartbeat of our community, and yesterday’s Bradhurst Merchants Association Mixer proved it! Huge thank you to Yolany Bernandez for bringing the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce into such a powerful space. This is what community looks like. When small businesses, local leaders, and organizations come together, real impact happens. Proud to have our Business Services Supervisor, Arnaldo F. Silva Rivera, there connecting directly with entrepreneurs, including one of our Tech to Table participants, Yolany Bernandez from Sites & Bites, Nicky Sunshine and Jamie Roberts at Comedy in Harlem. Seeing our businesses show up, grow, and support one another is exactly why we do this work. This is bigger than networking. It is about building opportunities, strengthening neighborhoods, and making sure our small business community continues to thrive. Let’s keep showing up for each other! #SmallBusiness #NYC #Community #SupportLocal #Entrepreneurs #EconomicDevelopment #ManhattanChamber
