This initiative is the result of more than two years of collaboration between IEDC and NCBER. Recently, ACCE has joined forces on this project as well to create the first major joint venture between IEDC and ACCE. Together, we bring a range of expertise to bear on the success of this project.

The American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) is a national association uniquely serving individuals involved in the management of chambers of all sizes.

Chamber executives and professionals hold positions requiring leadership, vision and strong management skills. Devoted to helping chamber executives and their staffs play a significant leadership role in their communities, the American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) was established in 1914. Since that time, ACCE has dedicated its resources and energies to enhancing professional growth, career development and management effectiveness of chamber executives and professionals alike.
