Greenville, SC – The Carolinas Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (CACCE) recognized the 2014 recipients of the Carolinas Accredited Chamber designation at their Annual Management Conference in Greenville, SC on October 30, 2014.

The CACCE Carolinas Accredited Chamber program sets standards of excellence for chambers in North and South Carolina. It recognizes chambers that have met those standards while offering guidelines for others to improve their effectiveness. The program shows that a chamber has gone through a detailed analysis of what and where they are as an organization.

This group joins nine chambers that were recognized last year, bringing the total number of Carolinas Accredited Chambers to 17.

CACCE is the professional development organization dedicated to improving the educational opportunities for chamber of commerce executives and staff members in North and South Carolina. CACCE equips chamber of commerce professionals with leadership skills and tools to build innovative chambers. The organization was formed in 1994 when the North and South Carolina state chamber associations merged.
