Ambassadors Committee

Welcome to the Chamber! How can I help you? 
This greeting sums up the role of an Ambassador.

We serve members by:
• Helping you understand and take advantage of Chamber benefits. If you have a question, ask us. If we don’t know the answer, we can direct you to the staff person who does.
• Encouraging you to actively participate in Chamber activities. Whether you are a new member or a veteran, we want you to feel welcome at Chamber activities. You’ll find us at mixers and grand openings, Council meetings and other special events, ready to introduce you to other members.
• Assisting Chamber staff in retaining members. Our Chamber is only as strong as its membership. That’s why we work hard to keep members involved.
