If you’ve ever considered becoming more involved with the Chamber, now is the perfect time to learn about our Ambassador Program and why joining could be a game-changer for your personal and professional life.

What Is the Ambassador Program?

Chamber Ambassadors are the friendly faces you see welcoming new members, attending ribbon cuttings, and representing the Chamber at various events. They serve as the official cheerleaders of the Chamber, helping members feel connected and engaged. Ambassadors form teams and work together to build relationships within the business community while having fun and making a difference. The best part?

Whether you’re a seasoned business professional or someone looking to grow your local network, this program is open to anyone who wants to get involved.
