FORT BEND REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP SWEEPS TEXAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVES (TCCE) MEDIA AWARDS
The Fort Bend Regional Partnership received all the top media awards in the large Chamber of Commerce category at the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives (TCCE) Conference held in Abilene.
The annual TCCE Conference brings together chamber professionals from across Texas to share best practices, strengthen leadership skills, and recognize excellence in communications, programming, advocacy, and organizational impact. The conference is the premier professional development event for chamber executives and staff across the state.
The Partnership received First Place in Division 4 across all four media award categories: Website Design, Social Media & Video, Print & Electronic Publication, and Event Marketing.
Award winning entries included the redesigned fortbendregionalpartnership.com website, which aligned with the organization’s rebrand and expanded regional role; the 2026 Chairman’s Gala social media campaign, which built awareness and engagement around the official rebrand reveal; the Fort Bend Levee Coalition brochure, which clearly communicated the importance of locally funded levee systems in protecting Fort Bend County; and the 2026 Chairman’s Gala invitation, which served as a key marketing piece for the milestone event.
President & CEO, Keri Curtis Schmidt, accepted the awards on behalf of the organization. This accomplishment reflects the contributions of staff, volunteers, board leadership, and community partners who make the Partnership’s work possible.
The recognition highlights the creativity, professionalism, and dedication of the Partnership’s team in advancing its mission to strengthen the Fort Bend region and serve as the voice of business for the community. The achievement reflects a broader commitment to telling the story of Fort Bend County, elevating the issues that will shape its future, and bringing people together around a shared vision for the region’s continued success.
