Center- 2022 award winners Debbie Harper, Newton Chamber of Commerce and
Beth Truelove, White County Chamber of Commerce
(Cleveland)- White County Chamber of Commerce President Beth Truelove, has just been named a Georgia Certified Chamber Executive, a select group of Georgia chamber executives.
The designation was announced last week at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce Executive Leadership Conference held at the Jekyll Island Club Resort.
In 1993, the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives began looking at ways to enhance public awareness and credibility of the Chamber of Commerce profession. One of the items selected to accomplish this was the establishment of a designation that exemplifies excellence and professionalism of Georgia’s Chamber Executives. This designation is based on experience, service to GACCE, training/continuing education, and personal achievement.
The process for those Chamber Executives wishing to achieve this designation includes completing the GCCE application and providing supporting documentation, writing a 250-word essay describing their views on their performance as a Chamber Executive, and providing letters of recommendation from a Past Chamber Chair and three GACCE peers.
The application and supporting material are then reviewed by a panel of judges. GACCE has a total of 20 current chamber executives who have achieved this designation.
Jason Hogan, who served as chairman of the White County Chamber Board of directors commented, “This goes to show the tremendous amount of love and care that Beth and the entire staff of the Chamber have for our community. We could not be more pleased for her to receive this award and thankful to the entire staff for their hard work making us one of only 12 five-star accredited Chambers in Georgia.
