OUR WORK OUR SERVICES NEWS CONTACT US ACME ELECTRIC COMPANY NAMED NOVEMBER BUSINESS OF THE MONTH BY THE LUBBOCK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACME ELECTRIC COMPANY NAMED NOVEMBER BUSINESS OF THE MONTH BY THE LUBBOCK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOVEMBER 16, 2017 From Lubbock Business Network Newsletter – Vol. 26 No. 11 How has being a member of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce helped to increase your business relationships in the business community and/or community involvement? In our case, it’s the invaluable contacts with other construction industry businesses that have been the primary benefit. This allows Acme Electric to come into contact with local businesses looking for work that might otherwise be missed. We strive to develop and maintain the use of local companies for our project partnerships. It has also pushed us to continually update our practices in order to stay ahead of industry standards. Networking in Chamber events such as the Hub City BBQ Cook-Off and the Chamber Golf Classic have gotten our name out in front of other Chamber members and given us the opportunity to tell them about Acme Electric. In turn, we have met many other members, learned about their company, and developed many friendships. When did Acme Electric join the Lubbock Chamber? Acme Electric has been a member of the Lubbock Chamber since the 1980s! What is Acme Electric’s favorite part of being a member of the Lubbock Chamber?
