Local Chamber Wins
Chamber of the Year Award
Board chair credits active membership as a key factor in win.

The Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) named the Grande Prairie & District Chamber of Commerce as the 2007 Chamber of the Year at the 70th Annual Alberta Chambers of Commerce Provincial Conference and Policy Session, held this past weekend in Fort Saskatchewan. The local Chamber won in the 300-plus membership category, competing against Chambers of similar size from around the province.

“Winning this award really reflects the commitment of our board and staff to listen to our membership and work with our community to find solutions for local issues,” said Tab Pollock, Chamber chair. “But it’s also a reflection of our active membership, whose support and involvement has given our region a very strong voice.”

Chambers are evaluated on a number of criteria including service to members, community leadership and advocacy work. Four awards, based on membership size, are given out by the ACC. The ACC is a federation of 127 Chambers of Commerce.

Grand Prairie Chamber Hosts Next Year’s Conference
The local Chamber was also awarded the 2009 ACC Annual Conference and Policy Session, to be held next May during Stompede week. The conference will bring in over 150 delegates from across the province.

Thanks Chamber members for your role in our 2007 Chamber of the Year Award. Your commitment to making your community and our region an attractive place to live, visit, and do business is just one of the factors that helped us achieve this honour.
