Chairman's Message


You may not realize it, but the Allen Chamber of Commerce is connected through several organizations beyond our local area.  One of those organizations is the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives (TCCE).   Our President, Sharon Mayer is a member of TCCE.  There are about 300 chambers of commerce in Texas and approximately two thirds of them have executives that are members of TCCE. 
 
The mission of TCCE is, “to enhance and promote the professional growth and competence of chamber of commerce executives”.  TCCE is an organization of chamber executives from across the state, working together to improve the business climate in Texas, while developing ways to enhance the quality of life in the communities that they represent.  TCCE provides leadership for chamber employees through its many publications and resources. There are many networking opportunities including the annual conference held each summer, mini-conferences, and other meetings with the purpose of bringing executives together to exchange ideas and success stories.
 
Sharon was recently elected as Vice-Chair for Membership of this fine organization.  The way their officer rotation works, she is in line to be Chair of the TCCE in about three years.  This is just one of the ways that the Allen Chamber of Commerce is making an impact beyond Allen.  Next time you see Sharon, congratulate her on her election and thank her for her commitment to excellence evidenced in her efforts on behalf of TCCE.
