The Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce has been notified by the U. S. Chamber that it has been awarded it’s second continuous Four Star Accreditation effective through 2014.  The Chamber is among less that 4% of the nation’s 7,000 Chambers of Commerce to earn this recognition. The accreditation process involves a rigorous eight-part examination of such areas as HR policies, financial policies, building and facilities, communications, Web site and electronic communications, government and legislative affairs and more. The application requires more than six months to complete.

The Winter Haven Chamber has been continuously accredited for the past 30 years. The process involves minimum requirements which, if you meet them, earns basic accreditation. Then there are three, four and five star recognitions for Chambers that exceed those basic requirements.

The Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce is proud to bring exceptional programs and services to our members. We would like to thank all members who volunteer time, talent and investments to make our many programs successful. We are grateful also for our strong partnership with the City of Winter Haven. Without each of you this Chamber would not have the resources or the talent to reach this level of recognition.

We’re proud to serve you and appreciate your involvement!
