Chamber Ambassadors act as liaisons between the Chamber and membership. The Ambassador position is crucial to the maintenance of membership of the Chamber.

They are:

• Educators: Inform members and prospective members about the Chamber and its services and benefits.
• Communicators: Keep the information channels open between members and the Chamber, acting as a sounding board to gather ideas and suggestions for improving member programs and services.
• Motivators: Encourage members to be involved with the Chamber events and programs and inspire members to grow and more fully benefit from their investment in the Chamber.
• Mentor: for new members.
• Cheerleaders: for the Chamber, assisting in ribbon cuttings, networking, and socializing.
