Our Dedicated Volunteers
Chamber Ambassadors are dedicated volunteers who play a key role in member engagement and community outreach, acting as liaisons between the Chamber and the local business community to enhance member experience and drive Chamber growth. The Ambassadors serve as "the face of the chamber," helping to foster connections among members and promote the Chamber’s events and initiatives. They also assist in recruiting new members, retaining existing members, and ensuring members maximize their benefits.
Apply
The recruitment period for Ambassadors is during October through November each year. All applicants will need to be available for a brief interview by the Ambassador Leadership Team as a part of the selection process.
