Frisco Chamber Wins Top Award for Communications
Alexandria, Va. (May 30, 2024) —The Frisco Chamber of Commerce has been named one of 12 Communications Award of Excellence winners by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE). ACCE is an association based in Alexandria, Virginia, that has over 1,600 chambers of commerce and related business and economic development organizations as members, representing more than 9,000 professionals in the industry.
“Innovative, engaging communications are essential for chambers of commerce to promote the impact of their work and amplify their communities’ stories,” said ACCE President & CEO Sheree Anne Kelly. “We congratulate this year’s winners for their outstanding efforts to inform, engage and spur action in order to drive positive change in their regions.”
The 12 winning entries will now go on to compete for the Best in Show title within their total annual revenue range category. The three winning entries will be revealed at ACCE’s annual convention in Dallas during the July 17, 2024 awards show presented by Comcast Business.
The Frisco Chamber of Commerce was named an Award of Excellence winner for its redesigned website,
FriscoChamber.com, which was designed entirely in-house.
“Winning the Awards for Communications Excellence is a tremendous honor for our team,” said Christal Howard, President/CEO of the Frisco Chamber. “I am grateful to have an incredible staff that’s passionate about serving our business community and fulfilling the mission of the Chamber in every interaction, with communications being an essential thread woven through all we do. We are incredibly proud to be a part of the distinguished group of chambers making a meaningful impact, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community with the highest standards of excellence.”
ACCE’s Awards for Communications Excellence (ACE) program is designed to showcase top communications and marketing work of chambers of commerce and similar organizations. A panel of communications and marketing professionals from 16 U.S.-based chambers of commerce evaluated entries submitted for this year’s competition. Entries were organized by category — based on the chamber’s annual revenue — and entry type: audio/videos, campaigns, print and electronic publications, and websites.
