What Our Members are Saying
Member Testimonials
“The Rondout Valley Business Association (RVBA) has proven invaluable to Ellenville Regional Hospital (ERH) by connecting us with a broad network of local businesses. This has facilitated problem-solving and enhanced community relations. For instance, when a pipe burst and caused flooding, we turned to Pure Clean for prompt damage control. Similarly, we smoothly transitioned our banking services to Ulster Savings Bank after dissatisfaction with our previous provider. Additionally, during a national search for a new website developer, we discovered IFC Delivers, a top-rated firm right here in the Rondout Valley. In return, RVBA leaders can count on us for reliable healthcare insights and support.”

Sophie’s Farm has been a member of the RVBA for 15 years. During this time we did not only meet new customers and widened our contacts within the community but we also gained many new friends.”
Nik Gerner
“I meet and network with other business owners within my community through my membership with the RVBA. The interactions are invaluable. I have a relationship with the manager of my bank, and with many real estate agents who often refer my business to their clientele. I also make many recommendations to my clients when they are looking for contractors. I think highly of the Association because they support students from our high school and community college. I would never give up my membership to the association, for all the services it brings to me personally, and to my business.”

“Puroclean’s membership in the Rondout Valley Business Association (RVBA) has been invaluable to the growth and success of the business. The RVBA has provided Puroclean Professional Restoration opportunities to connect with local business owners, potential clients, and community leaders, helping us establish a strong local presence. The networking events and seminars not only foster collaboration but also keep us informed of the latest trends and challenges in the industry. Through these connections, we’ve gained new business, built trusted partnerships, and enhanced our visibility in the community. As a board member, I’ve also been able to directly contribute to the organization’s mission, which has further strengthened our business reputation and engagement with the community. Overall, being part of RVBA has significantly helped Puroclean thrive.”
Miriam Gibbons
“The Rondout Valley Business Association has been instrumental to my complete integration into the business community in the area. Indeed, when I started my businesses in the Rondout Valley, I did not know many people. Through the RVBA, I was able to connect with and build important professional relationships with other business owners and community leaders. This helped me build and grow my businesses. I sincerely appreciate the almost monthly networking events and seminars. I truly feel like a member of the community as a result of my RVBA membership and active involvement in the organization”.

Owner, Main Street Ridge, LLC
“Joining the RVBA was the best decision my company did to expand in the Hudson Valley, build relationships and meet other like minded individuals. The results have been outstanding and it allowed us to quickly network and connect with businesses in the valley. The place we work in and also call our home”
