The Partnership also received a bronze award for the “Connect2Business” Workforce Development and Education program in the category of “Programs and Campaigns.” The ACE Bronze Award meets and exceeds the fundamental standards and criteria for communications excellence.

This year's ACE competition drew 83 entries from chambers throughout the U.S.  The awards will be presented at the annual ACCE convention on Thursday evening, August 4, in Los Angeles, California.

"There is truly exceptional communications work being done in the chamber profession, and ACCE is proud to recognize these achievements," said ACCE President Mick Fleming.

The Awards for Communication Excellence (ACE) is an annual competition that recognizes excellence in all areas of communications.  Celebrating its 28th year, ACE continues to be the vehicle for the chamber community to promote effective chamber communications, as well as highlight initiatives, introduce events and inform members.
