WORCESTER, MA-On this edition of The Voice of Business, Caitlin Lubelczyk, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, reflected on a landmark year for the organization while sharing plans already underway for the year ahead.
The Chamber marked its 150th anniversary in 2025, a milestone celebrated throughout the year and capped by an annual meeting that drew more than 700 attendees. The anniversary highlighted the Chamber’s long-standing role in supporting businesses and strengthening the regional economy.
Lubelczyk also noted the success of the Chamber’s final Business After Hours event of the year, hosted at Greater Good. The event raised more than $1,000 for EBS of Worcester, with funds designated to purchase gift cards for local teens in need during the holiday season.
Looking ahead, planning for 2026 is already underway. A young professionals networking event is scheduled for January at the Worcester Public Market, signaling an early focus on engagement, connection, and professional development in the new year.
The Chamber is also offering a special incentive for new corporate members. Businesses that join now will receive 14 months of membership benefits for the price of 12, with two complimentary months added to a standard one-year membership.
More information about Chamber programs, events, and membership opportunities is available at worcesterchamber.org.
