Chamber Ambassadors

The Ambassador Program is a member recruitment and retention program for Chamber members who wish to help expand the membership of the Chamber while providing them an opportunity to increase exposure for them and the business they represent. The Ambassadors will work on a volunteer basis as a liaison between businesses and the Chamber. They also help members maximize the benefit they receive from membership in the Chamber by keeping abreast of events, maintaining a working knowledge of the Chamber, and communicating with members about new programs and events. There are a number of benefits to being an Ambassador, including

  • Increased positive exposure for you and your business as a community minded business who works for the common good of the Chamber and the business community
  • Build valuable business and social network contacts
  • Gain publicity through the Chamber Newsletter for you and your business
  • Obtain an inside perspective of how the Chamber works to improve the business climate and be an integral part of the communities growth
  • Develop and hone leadership, communication, and marketing skills
