Over the summer, the Chamber staff, board, and volunteer leadership spent countless hours completing the Accreditation process with the focus of demonstrating competency in 9 core areas ranging from finance to facilities. This prestigious honor puts us among the top 3% of chambers nationwide.

Lissa Smith, Chair of the Board, states, “We are proud to continue the Plano Chamber’s history of excellence by securing re-accreditation at the 5-star level by the US Chamber. While this is a remarkable accomplishment by our staff, board, and volunteer leadership, we are most proud of what this designation represents. Achieving 5-star accreditation reflects our organization’s commitment to providing the highest level of service to our members, business community, and community at large. We are proud of all that we have accomplished together so far and are dedicated to keeping Plano a premier community in which to live, work, and play.
