The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives (KCCE) announced the 2021 KCCE Annual Excellence Awards. These awards pay tribute to local chambers of commerce in areas of operational excellence that include membership growth and retention, website, social media, special publication and newsletter communications, special events, innovation, and advocacy. This year two additional awards were added: The Pivot Award and Young Professional of the Year.

Awards were given in five categories: annual dues income less than $75,000 (Group I); annual dues between $75,001 and $150,000 (Group II); annual dues income between $150,001 and $250,000 (Group III); annual dues between $250,001 and $650,000 (Group IV); and annual dues income more than $650,001 (Group V).

This year, the Maysville-Mason County Area Chamber of Commerce was honored to be presented the award for Excellence in Public Policy/Advocacy.
“It’s my favorite time of year,” said KCCE Executive Director Amy Cloud. “Being a part of this ceremony and honoring our local chambers. All year long, these professionals celebrate their members and their community. This night, we get to celebrate them.”
“Amy, KCCE, and the Kentucky Chamber have been invaluable resources for me in my first year,” said Maysville-Mason Co. Chamber Executive Director Kaci Compton. “It’s an honor to be recognized for the work we’re doing in Maysville and Mason County.”
