Robert Heidt Receives ACCE Board Chair's Award

Glendale Chamber President & CEO Robert Heidt received the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives 2023 Board Chair's Award during the association's annual meeting on August 1 in Salt Lake City.

The award is given annually to an individual or group that has made a significant contribution to the betterment of the chamber profession. Outgoing ACCE Chair Christy Gillenwater, CCE, IOM, president & CEO of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, presented the award.

As chair of ACCE’s Fringe Benefits, Inc., the insurance and retirement benefits arm, Heidt led the organization and team through a robust external audit of its processes, procedures and structure to ensure we are providing the best solutions and services to our members.

Thanks to his leadership, we are on the path to:

• Enhance the customer experience for chambers using our retirement and insurance plans. 
• Improve communications with plan participants and administrators.
• Streamline operations to be even more efficient and effective in supporting our members 

Robert has also been a great champion for the chamber profession, both in his volunteer service on the ACCE board and in his leadership of the Glendale Chamber in Arizona. He regularly volunteers to help the ACCE team and his fellow chamber professionals.

Congratulations, Robert!
