On February 25, 2026, The Arc Mid-Hudson was recognized for its significant milestone of 45 years as a member of the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce during the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce Breakfast held at Wiltwyck Golf Club.

Accepting the award on behalf of The Arc Mid-Hudson were Jo Ann Campise, Director of CCAC; John McHugh, CEO; and James Huben, Director of Strategic Planning. Together, they represented the organization’s continued leadership and dedication to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the Hudson Valley.

The breakfast, hosted by the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce, welcomed close to 200 attendees who braved snowy weather to take part in the morning’s program. Guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast that included apple cinnamon pancakes, adding warmth and comfort to the winter morning.

Jen Metzger, Ulster County Executive, was also in attendance and delivered her State of the County address, outlining key priorities and initiatives for the year ahead. The event marked an important milestone for The Arc Mid-Hudson, celebrating 45 years of partnership, service, and commitment to the Ulster County community.
