“Winning this award is a testament to our Chamber’s commitment to keeping our business community informed, engaged, and connected,” said Jeremy Harris, ACE, IOM, president and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our members are at the heart of everything we do, and this video reflects the impact of Chamber membership in their own words.”
“Our goal with this video was to tell the story of our members and the meaningful ways the Chamber supports them,” said Marilynn Singer, communications manager for the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. “It’s an honor to have that work recognized, but even more rewarding to highlight the voices of our business community.”
