Welcome to Fulton County!
The Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce has always recognized the importance and value of small businesses, not only to our State’s development but, more importantly, to our regional economy.
Small businesses are the backbone of our financial success as a community, employing over half of New York State’s private sector workers.
This directly reflects our Chamber’s makeup, with the bulk of our membership made up of small, locally owned businesses, many of which are retailers or service-based.
We are proud to work with the Fulton County CRG, Fulton County IDA, Fulton County Officials, The Board of Supervisors, and our County, State, and Federal representatives. These partnerships play a vital role to support regional growth and stability.
Fulton County Visitors’ Bureau & Chamber Continues to Achieve Goals and Initiatives: Together!
In 2022, The Fulton County Board of Supervisors created The Fulton County Visitors’ Bureau, a new division within the County Planning Department to coordinate and manage Tourism Promotion.
Scott Henze, a 22-year veteran with the County, is the Director of Planning and Tourism, with Carla Kolbe hired in March of this year as the County’s Tourism Coordinator.
The Fulton County Visitor’s Bureau and the Chamber’s goals align, as all entities wish to expand tourism revenue and economic opportunities together.

Workforce Development:
Members Collaborate and Mentor Young People Through Our Business Education Partnership.
In 2013, The Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce and HFM BOCES (Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery Board of Cooperative Educational Services) collaborated to form the BUSINESS EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP (BEP).
The BEP connects HFM BOCES school districts and programs with our regional businesses to help support a well-prepared, capable, and adaptable workforce. The Chamber serves as a conduit between business and education.
Initially, the Chamber was contracted to support Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH) to provide real-world opportunities and help regional businesses fill positions.
We’ve since expanded to support programs such as Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Pathway Programs within regional school districts.
This expansion has gone even further through a partnership with Canajoharie Central School District to support their groundbreaking Educator Residency Program.
The Chamber also works closely with SUNY Fulton-Montgomery Community College and FMS Workforce Solutions.
