Cape chamber of commerce gets four-star accreditation

The Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce has received a four star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Accreditation was one of the goals of the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce as outlined by its board of directors in the 2005 Annual Report and Business Plan.

This news comes just as the chamber received the 2005 Chamber of the Year Award from the Missouri Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

To achieve accreditation, a chamber must meet minimum standards in its operations and programs, including areas of governance, government affairs, and technology.
