Callaway Chamber of Commerce Community Profile Receives Statewide CCEM Award

CALLAWAY COUNTY, MO – The Callaway Chamber of Commerce received statewide recognition for its Community Profile during the 2026 Chamber of Commerce Executives of Missouri Fall Conference. The award was presented October 22 at Margaritaville Lake Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks.
The Chamber of Commerce Executives of Missouri (CCEM) is the statewide professional association serving chamber professionals throughout Missouri. CCEM provides education, resources, networking and opportunities for chamber leaders to share best practices and strengthen the communities they represent.
The Callaway Chamber received the Special Publications Award for its Community Profile.
Updated annually, the Community Profile serves as much more than a membership directory. The publication tells the story of Callaway County, showcases Chamber members and provides residents, visitors, prospective businesses and community partners with a resource for discovering the people, businesses and opportunities that make the area unique.
By combining member visibility with broader community storytelling, the publication supports both the Chamber’s business-development mission and its role in promoting Callaway County.
Crystal Narr, CCEM Executive Director, stated, “This statewide recognition celebrates the Callaway Chamber’s continued effort to create a useful, professional resource that promotes its members while helping tell the story of the community they call home.”
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from CCEM,” said Tamara Tateosian, CEO of the Callaway Chamber of Commerce. “Our Community Profile is more than a directory. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the businesses, people, and organizations that make Callaway County such a special place to live, work, and visit. With approximately 23,000 copies reaching homes and businesses throughout our community, we take great pride in creating a publication that not only connects residents with local resources but also showcases the incredible things happening across Callaway County. This award is a reflection of the partnerships and community support that make this publication possible.”
