At Schoharie Economic Enterprise Corp (SEEC), our mission has always been anchored in a simple, enduring truth: true economic and community revitalization doesn't happen in a silo.

That is the essence of Collective Impact—and it’s the heartbeat of everything we do.

We cordially invite you to celebrate this shared vision with us at our Annual Open House on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 287 Main in Schoharie.
