50th Anniversary Celebration

The Genesee County Chamber of Commerce is Celebrating 50 Years!

1972-2022

On November 1, 1972 the late William F. Brown addressed the public through his broadcast on WBTA with the following: “A county-wide chamber, a new organization embracing and replacing the present LeRoy and Batavia Chambers, and affording representation to the remainder of Genesee County, would be a major improvement and greater use of resources than Batavia now has…”. Two weeks later, following votes by the board of directors of both the LeRoy and Batavia Chambers, a merger was formed, allowing for the creation of the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce!
