Chamber Board Committees

Ambassador Committee

The Ambassador Committee is dedicated to helping our members receive the most value from their membership. Ambassadors are assigned specific Chamber members to provide them a warm welcome and helpful training on the use of available marketing tools, provide timely event reminders, identify additional ways to add value to their membership, and assist with membership renewals. The Ambassador Committee is a sub-committee that is under the oversight of the Membership Committee.
