The Bronx Chamber of Commerce announced it will be holding its 2025 Annual Legislative Breakfast Forum on Thursday, July 10, from 8:30-11:30 a.m., at Maestro’s Caterers, located at 1703 Bronxdale Ave.
The event will bring together leaders of Bronx-based businesses and elected officials for a morning of dialogue on policies, networking and civic engagement. Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, as well as local Assembly Members, Council Members and State Senators who represent the Bronx, are expected to be in attendance.
Public policy engagement remains a core mission of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, and its Annual Legislative Breakfast Forum provides a vital platform for local business leaders to advocate for policies that support small business growth, economic opportunity, and job creation across the borough.
Business leaders are empowered to approach their elected representatives at this forum to ask questions and try to be active participants in the policy process. The elected leaders on hand are key decision-makers, shaping the policies affecting businesses big and small through permitting, public safety, taxes, workforce development, infrastructure and more.
For the first time, the Annual Legislative Breakfast Forum is open to non-members of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce—a move aimed at promoting broader civic engagement and highlighting the importance of inclusive participation in the legislative process.
“Now more than ever, it’s essential that our elected representatives hear the voices of Bronx businesses,” Bronx Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Sorin said. “This forum provides a vital platform to connect with decision-makers, gain insight into the issues that matter most and ensure that our business community is informed and engaged. That’s why the decision was made to expand this event and open it up to more attendees this year.”
Attendees will receive a full breakfast, along with a series of panels and presentations addressing key legislative priorities impacting the Bronx and beyond. Topics include economic development, workforce initiatives, small business policy, public safety, transportation, and housing.
Space for the 2025 Annual Legislative Breakfast Forum is limited. Advanced registration will be required. There will also be sponsorship and tabling opportunities available.
