Wilson, who was treasurer for the organization in 2014, took over as president in January. Among the numerous changes that Wilson set into motion immediately upon his appointment is a complete redesign of the Scarsdale Chamber of Commerce’s website, which launched at the beginning of February.
Wilson stated that the objective of the new website is to make it a better local resource for individuals both inside and outside the area, with new features including a directory of local businesses and information on community outreach.
Wilson was integral in the creation of the layout and look and feel of the site as well, and in developing a new mobile- friendly version. In addition, the organization will implement new opportunities for raising money for charities during regular chamber events, and the list of charities supported will expand.
Members will also benefit from a more streamlined system for keeping up with membership dues, with payments now accepted through a fast and convenient online portal rather than through traditional mail. Wilson will also oversee the continuation of Scarsdale’s successful campaign, "Shop Dine The Dale" to encourage shopping and dining at local businesses and restaurants.
“I am greatly honored to have been appointed the new president of the Scarsdale Chamber of Commerce,” said Wilson. “It is exciting to see all that we have already been able to accomplish this year, and I look forward to continuing to help make a positive impact in the local business community throughout 2015.”
