Ambassadors Club

Ambassadors Club members serve as liaisons between the Chamber and its members by personally visiting and calling their peers. Through their efforts, Ambassadors help fellow members engage in the programs, events, and money-saving opportunities that help them make full use of their membership. They also attend and aid Chamber staff at our various networking and Ribbon Cutting events.

“I loved working the name tag table Wednesday night [inaugural EPIC Awards].Great exposure and had more than one person tell me they see me everywhere which is great because they are more likely to think of me when the opportunity is there to refer business to me!”  
Cindy C. Locklin CPA,MSA, President & CEO 
Busy Bea's Services, Inc. 

Ambassadors' activities directly support the Chamber’s goal of connecting members to resources they can use to grow and succeed. 

Remember, your involvement in Chamber activities maximizes your membership dollar. We encourage your participation.
