The Greater Arvada Chamber is proud to celebrate Samantha Geerdes, Senior Vice President of Events & Business Services, on graduating from the 2025–2026 Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) Next Generation Leadership Program.
Samantha graduated from the program during ACCE’s Annual Convention on July 20 in New Orleans, where chamber professionals from across the country gathered to celebrate leadership, innovation, and excellence in the chamber industry. Designed to prepare the next generation of chamber executives, the year-long ACCE program equips emerging leaders with advanced leadership skills, strategic insight, and a national network of peers committed to strengthening chambers of commerce across the country.
Samantha leads the strategic direction of the Chamber’s signature events while driving innovative business services that support hundreds of local employers. Since joining the Greater Arvada Chamber in 2016, Samantha has played a pivotal role in elevating programs such as Taste of Arvada, Leadership Bootcamp, and Leadership Luncheons, helping them become premier experiences for the business community.
“Samantha’s commitment to continuous learning and leadership development reflects the kind of leadership that strengthens not only our organization, but the entire business community,” said Kami Welch, President & CEO of the Greater Arvada Chamber. “We’re incredibly proud of this accomplishment and excited to see how she’ll continue to apply what she’s learned to create an even greater impact for our members and the greater Arvada community.”
