CCE Commission

The Certified Chamber Executive Certification Commission oversees the administration of the certification program. It is the commission's responsibility to recommend certification to the ACCE board chairman for final review before granting of the designation to those individuals who have successfully completed all program components.

The Body of Knowledge for chamber professionals serves as the foundation for ACCE's educational programs. This document establishes benchmarks for the chamber profession in four core areas: Management; Planning and Development; Membership, Communications, and Revenue; and Operations. The document outlines general job responsibilities and will be updated, as necessary, to reflect current chamber management practices. By reviewing the Body of Knowledge and working towards comprehending and implementing these general practices, chamber professionals will be empowered with the basic skills necessary to be successful in the profession.
