Edinburg- The Edinburg Chamber of Commerce recently received four honors at the recent Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives Annual Excellence Awards in College Station. First Place in Marketing Campaign (Texas Cook’Em: High Steaks in Edinburg), First place in Brochures, Second Place in Directory/ Magazine (Edinburg Community Guide) and Second Place in Maps.
Local Chambers from across the state of Texas convened on June 23, 2014 for the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives Annual Awards. The awards honor organizations for exceptional efforts in marketing, communications and media outreach. Awards are judged in seven separate categories: social media marketing and communications, brochures, chamber maps, magazines or community guides, print/electronic news, websites and marketing campaigns.
The overall competition had more than 225 entries from which the best were judged by panels of experts in the specific field around the state. “This is an extremely competitive process,” said TCCE Vice-Chairman of Communications and 2014 Media Awards Chair Ray Hernandez. “This year we had a record number of entries from around the state. Rest assured the winners faced stiff competition from fellow chambers of commerce. Their victories truly indicate the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce is the best in 2014 in the Marketing Campaign and Brochures category.”
“The Chamber’s vision is to serve our members, the City of Edinburg and the Region as an advocate and resource and lead the effort in advancing commerce and quality of life,” said Letty Gonzalez, President of the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce. “We are honored to have received these awards and will continue to work hard for Edinburg.”
