Broome County Chamber wins national award for Economic Outlook Guide

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce has been named one of 12 Communications Award of Excellence winners by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE), a group representing more than 1,300 chambers of commerce around the world.

The Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce was named an “Award of Excellence” winner for its Economic Outlook Guide, an entry in the Print & Electronic Publications category. 

The Broome County Economic Outlook Guide, designed by local agency, Idea Kraft, provides members “with a detailed economic outlook for our area in addition to beneficial market research,” the chamber said in a release. “This data helps our businesses make informed choices that will grow our local economy. We also conduct a Business Leaders Outlook Survey which is published in the booklet that helps other business leaders better understand how their peers feel about the current and future economic climate in our region, as well as for their industry.”  This is the fifth year the chamber is conducting this survey.

ACCE’s Awards for Communications Excellence program, which receives support from Facebook, is designed to showcase top communications and marketing work of chambers of commerce and similar organizations. A panel of communications and marketing professionals from 16 U.S.–based chambers of commerce evaluated 173 entries submitted for this year’s competition. Entries were organized by category — based on the chamber’s annual revenue — and entry type — campaigns, digital media, event marketing, and print and electronic publications.

ACCE is based in Alexandria, Virginia.
