The Solvang Chamber of Commerce television commercial promoting the Business Women of Solvang and featuring several of Solvang’s leading businesswomen has won a 2019 Telly Award.

The honor was announced by Tracy Beard, the chamber’s executive director; and Charles Werner, chamber president.

“This is an incredible achievement,” Beard said. “With a record-shattering number of entries, this year’s Telly Award entrants represented the most innovative video and television work being made for all screens.

“As a Telly Award winner and executive producer of the commercial, the Solvang Chamber of Commerce/The Business Women in Solvang has been recognized as the standard bearer of excellence by the Telly industry in the category of Local TV, under general-social responsibility, for our focus on the Business Women in Solvang,” Beard said.

A recent Solvang Chamber TV spot on KEYT featured outstanding local women representing their businesses, professional, philanthropic and personal passions, and contributions to Solvang and the greater Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara areas.

The Solvang Chamber of Commerce has launched several initiatives to enhance the city of Solvang and the ability of its businesses to thrive.

The Solvang Chamber Board of Directors and Beard thank those who have contributed in the past and continue contributing to make the community one of a powerful industrious, thought-provoking, progressive and forward-thinking culture.

Special recognition goes to the team at the Solvang Chamber of Commerce; the city of Solvang; and Jeanette Garcia, creative services manager and producer at KEYT.
