Ambassador Committee:
The ambassador’s goal is to welcome members at all of our monthly events. They can easily be recognized by their Ambassador Badge and by their presence throughout the room for each event. In addition to representing our chamber at monthly events, they host Satellite Business Lunches where they invite 6 members of the chamber to a chamber restaurant. Everyone pays their own way on a discount and has 10 minutes to speak about their journey to where they are now. It is a wonderful relationship builder with the people in our community.Ambassadors also attend Ribbon-Cutting ceremonies for our new member businesses. Most importantly, Ambassadors are cognizant of letting non-member businesses in the community know the importance of being involved in their local chamber of commerce.
