Chamber ambassadors

What is an ambassador you may ask?

Ambassadors are an extension of the Chamber. Members of this committee are business mentors for new member businesses helping them to take advantage of chamber membership and helping them to succeed! The Committee encourages potential new Chamber members to join and engage. They also assist Chamber staff at various events.  

They support us with things like:

  • Ambassador “Welcome” Contact – assigned to new members to be another source of information and communication  

  • Attending ribbon cutting, grand opening, and groundbreaking ceremonies  

  • Assisting with Relocation Concierge Service (new!) 

  • Attending Business After Hours  

  • Greeting/mingling at special events

Ambassador Responsibilities: Ambassadors are an extension of the Chamber Staff and should always present themselves in a professional manner. The Ambassador Committee Members are to utilize their public relations, education, networking capabilities and refer member businesses to maximize Chamber membership. The ambassadors assist prospective members, new members, and new employees of existing members to swiftly acclimate themselves to the networking, training workshops, and other benefits the chamber offers, such as Chamber Business Academy and the Coupon Corner. Responsibilities consist of but are not limited to:

  • Ambassador Welcome Contact – assigned to new members to be another source of information and communication
