The Gwinnett Chamber was awarded “Chamber of the Year” by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives during the annual ACCE conference in Salt Lake City.
According to the chamber, this is the second time in the organization’s history that it’s been chosen as a finalist in the program, but the first time it has received this honor.
“We are honored and humbled to have been named this year’s Chamber of the Year by our industry peers,” Nick Masino, President and CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber and Partnership Gwinnett, said. “We also want to recognize the numerous members, investors, partners, and community leaders who contributed to this achievement and say thank you for working with us to champion business to national and global recognition.”
“This recognition comes just one year after the Gwinnett Chamber’s first-ever, five-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber, affirming the ongoing strength of our leadership and purpose to drive economic growth for our community,” Gwinnett Chamber Board Chair and President of Axis Dean Collins said.
In a press release, Gwinnett Chamber also attributed the organization’s success to Georgia’s ongoing best-in-class business environment.
“Local Chambers of Commerce play a key role in keeping Georgia the No. 1 state for business,” Governor Brian Kemp, said. “We appreciate what the Gwinnett Chamber does to bring more jobs and opportunities to the state and congratulate them on being named ACCE’s Chamber of the Year!”
The Gwinnett Chamber highlighted the ACCE recognition awards chambers that have exemplary leadership, organizational strength, and a profound impact in key areas such as education, transportation, economic prosperity, and quality of life.
The organization’s Leadership Team was in attendance at the awards ceremony held during the ACCE Conference.
“We applaud the Gwinnett Chamber and all of this year’s winners and finalists on their efforts to demonstrate catalytic leadership and advanced business solutions for our ever-changing economic landscape,” ACCE President and CEO Sheree Anne Kelly, said.
