​BOCA RATON, FL (September 25, 2024) – The Florida Association of Chamber Professionals (FACP) recognized Florida’s top chambers of commerce throughout the state for their outstanding achievement and dedication to the industry.

Among the recognition given were the Certified Plus Designations. In, 2003, FACP implemented the distinction of Florida Certified Chamber to recognize standards of professional excellence in Florida.

Both the Certified and Certified Plus designations recognize chambers that have met high standards and strengthened free enterprise by protecting the business environment. 
 
This year, the Miramar Pembroke Pines Chamber of Commerce and the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce were again awarded the Certified Plus Chamber status. The Miramar Pembroke Pines Chamber is also a 4-Star Accredited Chamber of Commerce through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
