The Ambassador Committee plays a significant role as "The Face" of the Chamber. Ambassadors attend Chamber programs such as Business After Hours & ribbon cuttings, as well as volunteer at events such as the Apple Harvest Festival and Chamber Classic Golf Tournament. They make themselves available to assist all members, new and old, in navigating through Chamber benefits and services to maximize membership. They serve as the voice of the members and bring recommendations forward for staff and board consideration.
The Ambassadors are one of the most important committees in the Chamber. Individuals are nominated to become an Ambassador after having been a Chamber member for one year. Interested in connecting with one of our Ambassadors, or becoming a Chamber Ambassador yourself? Contact us!
