letter from the presidentDear Chamber Member,
We know the Hudson Valley business community knows a thing or two about change and transition. In a rapidly changing business climate, it is important to continually reassess our ability to communicate effectively and to ensure that our communication tools perform as well as they possibly can. We have already made some drastic changes in how we communicate with our membership; our weekly Event Reminder e-mails and presence on Facebook and Twitter allow you to stay current with our events and announcements almost in real time. After a closer look at our print publications, we have determined that a transition is needed to improve their performance and increase their benefit to you, our members.
The New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that we are teaming up with Luminary Publishing, publishers of Chronogram, to produce three new publications.
Regional Report, a quarterly business magazine. Our monthly newsletter (previously Regional Update) will transition to a quarterly business-to-business magazine, including timely and relevant editorial content in addition to announcements of new and renewing members and the popular member updates.
Sojourn, a seasonal guide to the mid-Hudson Valley. Our annual publication (previously Regional Guide) will also transition to a quarterly publication, and will provide visitors with up-to-date, qualitative and enter-taining stories and information from around the Hudson Valley region.
Membership Directory. Our Membership Directory will still be published annually but now as a stand-alone publication, making it more accessible to locals and visitors alike, who use the Directory to locate com-munity-minded businesses who meet their needs.
These exciting changes will have a direct benefit for you, your business and our entire membership. Our print publications have always served us well; in their new formats, they will be positioned to serve us better in a new communications era. You will now have the opportunity to more finely target your message in Regional Report, our quarterly B to B magazine; Sojourn, our quarterly guide to visiting the mid-Hudson Valley and/or our annual Membership Directory.
As a valued Chamber member, you automatically have a listing in the Membership Directory. Please take a moment to consider reserving display advertisement space in these new publications to increase the impact of your message. We look forward to your continued support and your participation in this new family of New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce publications.
Sincerely, Joyce Minard, President
New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce

A QUARTERLY BUSINESS NEWS MAGAZINE OF THE NEW PALTZ REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
THE NEW NORMALBy Kelley Granger
he way markets consume products and services is being profoundly
changed by a convergence of influences. While the economic hardships of
the past year have played a large part in the transformation of our collec-
tive behavior as customers, innovative uses of communications technology and a
growing eco-consciousness are also among the catalysts spurring change. Perhaps,
at the root of this revolution, our ideals are changing. We aren’t just looking to save
a buck, we’re looking for true value and an authentic relationship. We’re seeking
businesses that have a bigger picture of social and environmental responsibility
in mind. We want integrity and candor from our merchants and salespeople. We
want to be smart about how we spend our money—we’ll stretch each dollar as
far as it can go and expect that business will still provide us with above-average
service and options. In order to stay relevant, businesses will have to accept these
terms as a “new normal,” a restructured set of customer expectations that will shift
business interactions in a new direction. Continued on p. 12
