This year, we step forward with gratitude for the past and excitement for what lies ahead. Connecticut’s first-ever cultural district and a vibrant focal point of the 068, Ridgefield is alive with history, creativity, and community spirit. As the Executive Director of the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce, I am inspired daily by the business owners, volunteers, and neighbors who make this town so welcoming and wonderful.
The Chamber is dedicated to creating opportunities for people to come together and support our community in every season. This winter, our State of the Town Breakfast, Women’s Forum, and Restaurant Week invite folks to experience Ridgefield and engage with local businesses. Throughout the year, other signature events such as our Annual Golf Outing, SummerFest, Fall in Love with Ridgefield, and the Holiday Stroll help drive commerce and foster community spirit. Yet, the true heart of Ridgefield lives in our everyday camaraderie: the traditions, routines, and shared roots that have shaped this community for generations.
Together, we honor Ridgefield’s past while building a dynamic future. Leading the Chamber is a true privilege, and I am excited to support the town’s continued growth and help usher in new opportunities for prosperity. I warmly invite everyone across the 068 community and beyond to explore our businesses, join our events, and experience the flourishing vitality of Ridgefield in the year ahead.
