Applicants are required to have at least six years of senior-level Chamber management experience and be currently employed in a senior-level Chamber management position. To date, only 475 individuals have earned the CCE designation.
Phillips has 17 years of industry experience, beginning his Chamber career in Louisville, Kentucky. He joined the Greenville Chamber as President/CEO in 2016. His tenure at the Greenville Chamber has been marked by significant investment, engagement and revenue growth; 5-star Accreditation status by the U.S. Chamber; relocation of the Chamber’s headquarters to downtown Greenville; and the successful implementation of many innovative programs and initiatives for the business community.
Phillips will be recognized alongside fellow 2023 designees at the ACCE Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah in August.
