The accomplishment was recognized at the recent Chamber of Commerce Executives of Canada (CCEC) Annual General Meeting in Victoria, British Columbia, where President & CEO Brenda Whitehead accepted the Chamber's Certificate of Accreditation.

The accreditation recognizes Chambers that demonstrate dependable governance, resilient operations and the ability to effectively serve their members and communities.

Whitehead also received a Certificate of Achievement – Gold Level for her Accredited Chamber Executive (ACE) designation, Canada's national professional designation for Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade staff.

Calling it an incredible honour, Whitehead credited the Chamber's achievements to the commitment and collaboration of its members, board, staff, volunteers and partners.

The recognition reinforces the Chamber's commitment to helping businesses across Peterborough and the Kawarthas connect, grow and thrive.
