The Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives honored the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce for its NOBLE (Nacogdoches County Opportunity for a Better Learning Experience) program. Major sponsors of the NOBLE program are The Daily Sentinel and Citizens 1st Bank.

NOBLE received an Education Award “In recognition of the design and implementation of the best new Chamber of Commerce program in Texas.” Chamber President/CEO Bruce Partain accepted the award plaque at the TCCE Volunteer Conference on Oct. 9 in Austin.
