Our Ambassador Program consists of two groups: our Community Ambassador Committee and the Membership Ambassador Committee. The role of the Ambassador is to promote the Chamber and ensure our members stay connected. Ambassadors serve as a liaison for the Chamber in facilitating events and assisting members.
