LAFAYETTE, La. – One Acadiana (1A) was honored as the state’s leading Chamber of Commerce of 2024 in the Large Chamber category, selected by the Louisiana Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (LACCE), at the LACCE Annual Awards Show in West Monroe on Monday evening.
The LACCE Chamber of the Year Award program recognizes chambers that have distinguished themselves and their community through excellence in chamber management based on excellence in the following categories: Networking & Communication, Education & Business Development, Advocacy & Government Relations, and Community Engagement & Social Impact.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition,” said 1A President & CEO, Troy Wayman. “This award is a testament to the dedication of our staff, leadership, and members. We will build on this momentum by driving Acadiana’s growth, enhancing the business climate, and continuing our mission to make our region the best place to live, work, and thrive.”
A panel of independent judges, who are also chamber executives from across the country, reviewed the Louisiana chambers and determined which Chambers were considered the best in three categories: Small Chamber, Medium Chamber and Large Chamber. It is the goal of the LACCE Chamber of the Year Award program to recognize those chambers that have distinguished themselves and their community through excellence in chamber management.
