Corpus Christi, TX—Local Chambers from across the state of Texas gathered Monday, June 20, 2016 for the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives (TCCE) Annual Excellence Awards. The awards honor organizations for exceptional efforts in marketing, communications and media outreach. Awards are judged in seven categories: Outstanding Chamber Map, Outstanding Brochure, Outstanding Magazine or Directory, Excellence in Print or Electronic Newsletter, Outstanding Chamber Website, Excellence in Social Media Marketing and Communications, and Outstanding Marketing Campaign.

In the category of Newsletter the Alice Chamber of Commerce was honored as the best in Texas, winning first place.
“This is an extremely competitive process,” said Ray Hernandez, TCCE Vice-Chairman of Communications whose leadership division oversees the process. “This year we had a large number of entries from around the state and judges that were attentive to every detail. Rest assured the winners had to demonstrate their best. A victory tonight truly indicates the Alice Chamber of Commerce is the best in 2016 in Newsletters.”
In the category of Maps the Alice Chamber of Commerce was honored as the best in Texas, winning second place. Alice also was a finalist in the category of Social Media promotion.
“Chambers of Commerce are the voice of business and quite often the communities they serve,” said Aaron Cox of TCCE. “This highly competitive process demonstrates how these organizations fulfill this task with excellence daily, often with little or no accolades. This award demonstrates the exceptional work carried out by the Alice Chamber and provides them well deserved recognition.”
The overall competition had more than 200 entries from which the best were judged by panels of experts. “This prestigious honor is cause for the staff, members and community to celebrate,” said Eddie McBride, 2016 TCCE Board Chairman and President/CEO of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. “This type of recognition is indicative of the great work, creativity and innovation that exists in these chambers, Congratulations to all!”
