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.
