Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Recognized with Four Star Accreditation


hatThe Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce received notification that it has received a Four Star Accreditation by the US Chamber of Commerce. This places the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce in the top 2% of 6,936 chambers of commerce in the United States. The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce is the only accredited chamber of commerce in Wyoming and part of an elite group of 152 chambers of commerce nationwide that have been validated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Accreditation Program as "having solid programs, demonstrating clear organizational procedures, and as being a catalyst for positive action in the community."


The US Chamber of Commerce states that "The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce has demonstrated a good track record of operating a successful chamber and achieving desirable results for its members. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to accredit the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce with our 4-Star designation. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement!"


The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce improved upon its Three Star Accreditation in 2006. Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tim O'Donoghue states "Since 2006, we have worked at continuous improvement of our Member services, organizational capabilities and performance, and effectiveness at championing the interests of local businesses, enhancing their prosperity, strengthening the economic climate of Teton County, and being an active contributor to the interests of business in the State of Wyoming. We have received this accreditation and recognition through a rigorous process conducted by a panel of industry experts and leaders. While we may never fully meet the accreditation criteria of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because of our non-partisan, non-endorsement of political candidates, we are pleased to have received this accreditation and high-level recognition of our work and organization. I also believe our accreditation is a reflection of the excellence present in our business and overall community."
