The Georgia Chamber of Commerce has been named an “Award of Excellence” winner in the Communications Excellence awards program presented by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE). ACCE, an Alexandria, Virginia based association, represents more than 8,000 chamber of commerce professionals, and 1,300 chambers of commerce, around the world.

ACCE’s annual Awards for Communications Excellence is designed to showcase top communications and marketing work of chambers of commerce and similar organizations. Several thousand award entries have been submitted since the launch of the organization’s Awards for Communications Excellence, which is now in its thirty-fifth year.
 
The Georgia Chamber received an Award of Excellence for its communication submission that included multiple samples of advertising and marketing, digital and publications. Each organizational-wide communication material showcased the Georgia Chamber’s efforts towards business advocacy statewide.
 
President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber, Chris Clark, stated, “The Georgia Chamber is focused on protecting free enterprise, helping our investors mitigate risk and to capitalize on opportunities to grow their businesses and having a strong communication and marketing strategy is critical, so we’re very honored to accept the ACCE Communications Excellence Award as evidence of our success.”
 
A panel of communications and marketing professionals from six United States chambers of commerce evaluated entries, which were organized by category — based on the chamber’s annual budget — and entry type: advertising and marketing, campaigns, digital and publications. With more than 160 entries submitted in 2019, judges recognized 10 entries as Grand Award winners and 41 as Award of Excellence winners. Three Best in Show awards will be announced July 15 at the ACCE Annual Convention in Long Beach, California.
