Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce

🌟 GALA 2024 🌟 Brooklyn, NY – On Tuesday, December 17, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce hosted its star-studded, annual Winter Gala at El Caribe Country Club. This year’s Gala theme, “We Are Brooklyn…We Know No Bounds,” celebrating the resilience, persistence, and diversity that makes Brooklyn so extraordinary. From the New York Liberty’s historic WNBA Championship win to the unwavering strength of our business community, we continue to prove that Brooklyn is a boundless investment in the future—a premier place to live, work, and thrive. This year’s gala is particularly special because the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce proudly honored this year’s WNBA champion NY LIBERTY, and parent company BSE Global. The NY Liberty won the WNBA Championship this past season, defeating the Minnesota Lynx. They were represented at the Winter Gala by New York Liberty CEO Keia Clarke and Gregg Bishop, the Executive Director of the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation's Social Justice Fund, which has supported the Brooklyn Chamber’s Brooklyn EXCELerate Loan Program.

NEW: Governor Kathy Hochul proposes New York’s first-ever Inflation Refund!
