Commerce Chenango to host economic-outlook event on Feb. 25

NORWICH, N.Y. — Commerce Chenango will host its annual economic-outlook briefing on Thursday, Feb. 25 in partnership with NBT Bank.

The virtual event is scheduled between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. that morning, per the Commerce Chenango website.

Kenneth Entenmann, senior VP and chief investment officer at NBT Bank, will serve as keynote speaker.

Entenmann has more than 33 years of investment experience and for the past seven years has provided attendees with an overview of the economy, both locally, statewide, and globally. This year’s presentation will help to “define some of the economic impacts due to COVID-19,” Commerce Chenango said.

“While this year’s Economic Outlook event will look a little different, we are pleased that Ken will once again join us (virtually) to share his ‘outlook’ on our economy. This discussion is critical to the recovery efforts here in Chenango County, and in the Southern Tier,” Kerri Green, president & CEO of Commerce Chenango, said. “While no one knows how 2021 will unfold, it’s evident that we need to have serious discussions now about recovery efforts, opportunities, strategies for our business owners, and how the past year will impact us in years to come.”

This event is free to all Commerce Chenango members and is open to non-members for a $10 fee, but pre-registration is required. For more information, or to register, call 607-334-1402.
