A common theme among NGLCCNY's treasured and dedicated corporate partners is a commitment to service. That commitment manifests itself in the services offered to the business community--as well as a desire to give back to those who make New York the epicenter of innovation and success. NGLCCNY is thrilled to welcome Empire Wealth Strategies, an agency of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, to our ever-growing collection of partners who exemplify service in ways that will benefit every member of our chamber family.
