Horizon Investors

Shape the Profession's Future

Support your Association by
Sustaining its Mission

Maximize your Membership

The future is often shaped by visionary leaders who foresee challenges, identify needs and deliver resources. In the chamber world, such leaders recognize the importance of a powerful, nimble association working on behalf of those who lead communities and businesses.

ACCE’s Horizon Investor Program provides for the mission success of the association in high priority work areas, especially economic and community development. Horizon Investors enhance ACCE’s ability to help members bolster regional prosperity and organizational innovation. As we move into our Second Century, ACCE must continue to innovate and develop products, tools and talent to help you win in the future – beyond the visible horizon. Our members demand cutting edge resources that simply cannot be created through dues income alone.

A commitment of $2,500 per year, beyond the regular membership dues schedule, is requested of Horizon Investors. A full array of exclusive benefits (see below) is provided for those who invest at this level, but we know your support is built on belief, not discounts. We count on ACCE’s leading members to embrace this new investment, which will sustain the organization you have built, and ensure continued advancement in the coming decades. Thank you for your support!

Exceptional returns on exceptional investments
As we move into our Second Century, ACCE is evolving toward more consistent funding streams. Part of that sustainable model is the need for our most active members and staunchest supporters to invest “beyond the rate card.” ACCE must rely on the organizations that built this association over the last 100 years to do just a bit extra to ensure future success.
