IACCE Accreditation:
The Illinois Association
of Chamber of Commerce Executives established the Illinois
Chamber Executive Accreditation Program in 1997 to recognize
the professional competency of chamber of commerce professionals
in the state of Illinois. The Accredited Chamber Executive
(ACE) designation is based upon the experience, service to
IACCE, training, continuing education and personal achievement
of IACCE members. The ACE award strengthens the career development
objectives of IACCE and provides personal recognition to Chamber
professionals in Illinois.
Selected recipients receive professional certification to
be included with the recipient's profile, biography and resume.
Completed application must be submitted to IACCE by September
15 along with a letter of recommendation from your chief
elected volunteer and a resume of professional experience.
All applications must be accompanied by a $30 application
fee, made payable to IACCE.
