Ambassadors

Our "Chamber Ambassadors" are an active group of Chamber members who serve as the liaison between the Chamber board and staff and the membership at large. To become an Ambassador, you must be a Chamber member for a minimum of 6 months.

Purpose: The Ambassadors serve as liaisons with Chamber membership. They promote Chamber membership through daily contacts and sharing leads.  Ambassadors strive to retain members through personal contact to make members feel welcome and appreciated.  Our Ambassadors also assist the Membership Director in recruiting new Chamber members.
