MACCEThe management agreement calls for AIM to provide billing, meeting management and other services to MACCE, an association of senior executives from nearly 100 chambers of commerce throughout Massachusetts.

“Since its establishment more than 90 years ago, AIM has enjoyed positive working relationships with local and regional chambers of commerce in carrying out mutually supported public policy agendas to improve the state’s economic climate.

The MACCE annual meeting will take place in Lenox.

“Receiving administrative support services from AIM will allow MACCE to concentrate on carrying out its mission to assist our members with their personal and professional development and provide them with opportunities for the exchange of ideas, information and access to management resources.Additionally, we hope this affiliation will lead to a more unified and cohesive voice for business in the commonwealth,” said MACCE President Tom O’Rourke, CCE, president & CEO of the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The agreement would become effective immediately.
