Ep #64: Building Powerful Business Connections in Westchester featuring BCW’s Amanda DePalma and Linda Tyler

Building strong business relationships is one of the most powerful ways to grow professionally in Westchester, and today’s episode highlights an organization that makes those connections possible every day. I’m joined by Amanda DePalma and Linda Tyler from the Business Council of Westchester to talk about how they support and connect business owners, leaders, and organizations across the county.

Amanda and Linda share how the Business Council has evolved into a hub for networking, advocacy, and professional development, representing more than 1,100 businesses across every industry. We talk about their approach to membership, why intentional connections matter more than ever, and how their podcast network extends the reach of their work beyond in person events. Their insight into building community through relationships is especially timely as many professionals begin planning for the year ahead.

If you are thinking about how to expand your network, grow your visibility, or get more involved locally in 2026, this episode offers a clear look at what that can actually look like in practice. You’ll hear how thoughtful introductions, curated events, and consistent engagement can create real momentum. This is a conversation about connection, opportunity, and the value of showing up in the right rooms.
