PURPOSE OF THE AMBASSADOR TEAM

Ambassadors are Chamber members who volunteer their time to provide a crucial link between the Chamber and its members. They make business a priority and encourage Chamber members to get engaged in the Chamber, shop locally, and utilize the benefits of the Chamber. Ambassadors enjoy the rewards of making new contacts, strengthening relationships and accessing a wealth of information and resources.
