What Plainview-Old Bethpage Chamber of Commerce does

Plainview-Old Bethpage Chamber of Commerce is a private nonprofit membership organization founded in 1954 that serves local businesses and civic stakeholders in the Plainview-Old Bethpage area of Nassau County, Long Island, New York. It operates a member directory of approximately 94 local businesses spanning food and hospitality, healthcare, banking, professional services, real estate, and telecommunications, and delivers member value through monthly in-person networking meetings (third Wednesday, excluding July/August), ribbon-cutting ceremonies, an annual SpringFest community festival held at Mid-Island Y JCC, charity partnerships, a Women's Group, and a School-to-Career internship pipeline with Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School.

The organization generates revenue from three streams: annual membership dues ($150 for basic, $250 with a website homepage banner ad), tiered event sponsorships ranging from Bronze at $650 to Platinum at $3,950 (with payment plans available on Platinum), and specialty SpringFest sponsorships at $1,000-$1,500 (Food Court Ice Cream, Kids Zone, Rock Climbing Wall, Pickle Ball, T-Shirt, Face Painting). Its technology surface is a standard WordPress website (pobcoc.com) with a member directory and event calendar, Constant Contact for email newsletters, and organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and a recently launched LinkedIn page; no proprietary software, API, or AI capabilities are offered.

The chamber is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors led by President David Weinstein (also Digital Communications Committee Chair), Executive Vice President Andrea Goldman, Second Vice President Larry Weiss (Meeting & Speakers Committee Chair), Treasurer Ted Kramer, Membership Secretary Jamie Gorman, and Recording Secretary Seth J. Meyer, with operational administration handled by Samia Jawab since September 2025. It maintains multi-chamber networking partnerships with the Syosset-Woodbury, Oyster Bay, and Westbury-Carle Place chambers and operates as part of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce (NCCC), which recognizes member businesses through annual Businessperson of the Year awards; recent honorees include Family Bagels (2024) and No Limit Ninja (2025).
