Ambassadors
By definition, Ambassadors are volunteer representatives of the Chamber responsible for contacting members to encourage investment and engagement in the Chamber. But to Chamber staff, Ambassadors are so much more than that. Ambassadors help the Chamber carry out our mission every day. They act as the liaison between members and us. They are an extension of our voice, our 'boots on the ground', and help answer member questions, assisting them in gaining maximum value from their membership.
Our ambassadors assist in engaging members in events, meetings, and classes that will help to grow and improve their businesses.
Energize and engage the chamber membership – helping members understand the more they’re involved, the greater the return.
Encourage businesses who are not members to explore membership as a tool to grow their reach.
This committee is the “arm of the Chamber” as we lovingly refer to them. They help with events and programs (as their schedule allows)
Meets 1st Wednesday at 3:30 pm.
