Make Connections:

Young professionals will gain exposure to business and government leaders that will help advance their networks and career opportunities. Established professionals have the opportunity to offer guidance and mentorship. Serving as an Ambassador offers visibility, credibility for your business and career, and an insider’s view of the local business community.

Serve your Community:

Giving time to community initiatives offers a way for local professionals to give back. Through enthusiastic Chamber representation, Ambassadors can make a difference, help others, and promote the benefits of Chamber membership with the business community, including local nonprofit organizations.

Advocate:

Ambassadors have the opportunity to support the Chamber’s mission of advocating on behalf of the broader business community by engaging in outreach efforts and weighing in on important issues at the local and state levels.

Educate:

Chamber Ambassadors play an essential role in member recruitment and retention.
