Ambassadors

Who is an Ambassador?

As the Chamber’s elite public relations committee, the Ambassadors perform many important tasks for the Chamber. Most importantly, they help recruit and retain members, assisting the Chamber in meeting its membership goals for the year. Chamber members must complete an application to be considered for the Ambassador committee. Please note, the Ambassador Committee is limited to 20 members.

Ambassador Perks

There’s more to being an ambassador than just a cool nametag! Ambassadors receive extra visibility on the chamber website with their name and photo listed on the ambassador page. They also have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with new and existing Chamber members and meet local business and community leaders. Ambassadors gain an insider’s perspective of the local business community as well.

Ambassador Commitments

Welcome New Members

Ambassadors make follow up calls to new members where they ask how their experience is going and suggest ideas as to which of the many benefits of membership will be most effective for them.  A new member is assigned an Ambassador as a Mentor.  Mentors are asked to reach out to new members, assisting the Membership Development Committee with member retention. 

Event Support

Special name tags make Ambassadors prominent at Chamber events. You’ll find them welcoming attendees, making sure everyone is comfortable, and finding the contacts they are looking for.

Ribbon-Cuttings

Ambassadors assist in event setup, appear in Ribbon-Cutting photos, tour member facilities, and spread the word about the hosts’ companies on social media.
