Ambassador Committee

The Ambassador Committee is a dynamic group of professional volunteers selected from our member group who serve as advocates for the Chamber and the business community. The Ambassadors connect with new and existing members to strengthen the relationship between the Chamber and its members while helping businesses connect to organizations, become more involved and ensure that members are utilizing the Chamber services to the fullest potential.
