The Greater Omaha Chamber is celebrating its latest distinction. It has been named the 2015 Chamber of the Year by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE.org).

The judging process took a number of areas into account, including organizational excellence, member services and connections, and programs/initiatives. Among other aspects, the Chamber’s application highlighted its “We Don’t Coast” branding initiative, its Greater Omaha talent and workforce initiative, and the array of growth-focused services it offers, including its THRIVE business assistance program and YourBizAssist.com.

The Greater Omaha Chamber win was announced on August 12, at ACCE’s 2015 Annual Convention in Montreal.

“This honor is a testament to our hard-working Chamber team and to the steady support of our community partners. Without their backing, we wouldn’t be the organization we are today – a catalyst for growth and positive change that’s constantly innovating and evolving to provide the best for our members, attract new business and prime talent, and elevate the quality of life throughout the region,” said David G. Brown, the Chamber’s president and CEO. Brown was also honored at the Aug. 12 ceremony, named Chamber Executive of the Year.
