Alexandria, VirginiaThe American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) announced this month that VillageProfile.com, Inc., a publisher of chamber maps and directories, has become an official corporate sponsor.

Village Profile’s products and clients can be found on its website, www.villageprofile.com.
