Bowling Green Chamber Receives ACCE Communication Excellence Award

The Chamber was recognized with an Excellence Award for Electronic Communication for its website, www.bgchamber.com. Having undergone a complete redesign of the website in 2008 as an effort to revitalize the site and provide more information to partners and visitors, the Chamber was thrilled with the recognition by ACCE. Chamber Vice President of Operations Tonya Matthews, IOM, ACE said, "Since the redesign, the website has now won both state and national Excellence Awards. The Chamber received the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives Excellence Award for Best Website at the fall 2008 conference. Now, in a national competition, bgchamber.com receives an ACCE’s Communication Excellence Award—that’s exciting news!"

Chamber Chairman Todd Davis said, "I think one of the judge’s comments sums it up best. ‘The submission was impressive! The usability of the site proves this is a forward-thinking Chamber. A great feature is the global JOIN button. The media room is also very innovative. Their clear and thorough submission is a reflection of the obvious diligent process to create a quality product. This was clearly a staff-led project, but they also had input and involvement from the partnership. Well done!’"
