Galveston, TX — Local Chambers from across the state of Texas convened Tuesday night, June 25, 2024 for the TCCE (Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives) Annual Excellence Awards. Texas Chambers of Commerce are recognized each year for outstanding marketing and communications work through the TCCE Communication Award Program. Submissions are reviewed by an expert panel of judges who select a limited number of entries to be named as award winners.
The awards honor organizations for exceptional efforts in four categories: Social Media and Video, Website, Event Marketing and Print & Electronic Publications. The Fort Bend Chamber won first place among the largest chamber category for their Business Start Up Guide. “This is an extremely competitive process,” said Esme Villarreal, TCCE Vice-Chairman of Communications and 2024 Media Awards Chair. “This year we had a record number of entries from around the state. Rest assured the winners tonight faced stiff competition from fellow chambers of commerce. Their victory truly indicates the Fort Bend Chamber is the best in 2024 in the Print & Digital Media category.”
