Chester/Deep River/Essex Division

The Chamber has nine geographically based divisions which meet on a monthly basis throughout Middlesex County. These divisions focus on local economic development issues and each meeting features an update from local municipal officials.

Twice a year, in November and March, our monthly morning division meetings are held during the evening and feature appetizers and networking, with the goal of creating new connections.

The Chester/Deep River/Essex Division occurs on the first Friday of the month at different locations. This division does not meet in the Summer months of July and August.

October's meeting is dedicated to the annual Candidate Forum. The following candidates for First Selectman have been invited to participate:

Chester
Cindy Lignar (D), incumbent

Deep River
Carol Doak-Jones (D), incumbent
Kathryn Russell (R)
Oswald Sheppard (U)

Essex
Norm Needleman (D), incumbent

Thank you to the Town of Chester for hosting the meeting.
