Santa Rosa Metro Chamber Named Finalist in National Communications Awards

The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber is honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives’ (ACCE) 2025 Awards for Communications Excellence (ACE), spotlighting our new website.

Each year, ACCE’s ACE program recognizes the top communications and marketing work from chambers of commerce across the country. Submissions are evaluated by volunteer judges—fellow communications professionals from the chamber community—who identify standout entries that demonstrate creativity, strategy, and impact. This year, only a select number of organizations received awards out of a competitive field of submissions. The Chamber’s new website was honored with an Award of Excellence, placing us in the running for Best in Show within our annual revenue category.

Launched in early 2024, the redesigned website was developed to advance the Chamber’s mission of supporting a vibrant economy and connected community. With improved access to key resources, greater visibility for member businesses, and a more user-friendly experience, the new site reflects our commitment to innovation, business success, and regional prosperity.

“Innovative, engaging communications are essential for chambers of commerce to demonstrate their impact and amplify their communities’ stories,” said ACCE President & CEO Sheree Anne Kelly. “This year’s winners have creatively celebrated their communities, strengthened local identity and showcased their commitment to inspiring progress and building vibrant, thriving regions.”

We’re proud to be recognized among leading chambers nationwide and look forward to the final announcement of the Best in Show awards at the upcoming ACCE awards show.
