Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce board member Ron DiSabatino and his team provided much-needed support to Chamber non-profit and small business members this holiday season. 

DiSabatino, the vice president of engineering at Constellation Energy, invited 45 leaders from around the northeastern United States to an in-person training and work session at the Kennett Square office location. Through his relationship with the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce, DiSabatino was able to connect with a variety of Chamber members as a resource for the two-day session. 

The Kennett Library, a Chamber member, hosted the Constellation team for two days of work training in one of their new spacious classrooms. Hangry Bear Creamery, also a Chamber member, provided delicious food and beverages for the two-day training, and for an after-hours cocktail hour and team-building paint night. 

Calabrese Arts served as the event venue for the team’s cocktail hour and team-building paint session. Owner Guenevere Calabrese was a “fantastic host and led us through the painting of a winter scene,” said DiSabatino. “My team of engineers had a blast and said it was the best team-building event they’ve ever done. Guenevere and I met at a Chamber retreat and thought of Calabrese Arts when looking for a new and different option for a team social event.” 

Constellation Energy also recently donated and installed, free-of-charge, an emergency backup generator for Chamber member Tick Tock Early Learning Center. The generator will allow the center to remain open and keep kitchen refrigeration, emergency lighting, security systems, and other circuits energized during power outages. 

Tick Tock executive director Susan Czerwin said of DiSabatino, “I’m so grateful to have met you through the Chamber. You and several Constellation leaders heard me talk about the storm damage this past summer and you took it upon yourselves to find a way to help. I greatly appreciate the compassion you hold for families who are just like the rest of us – working to provide a good life and education for our young children. Constellation recognizes and understands the childcare crisis and you chose to be part of the solution.” 

“The Chamber is proud to support opportunities such as this one for Ron, the Constellation Energy team and our membership,” said Southern Chester County Chamber President and CEO Cheryl B. Kuhn. “Connecting members with the business community is a win-win. When we can facilitate making this happen, we are serving our mission as the region’s leading business organization.”
