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 Ribbon Cutting events. 

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.

Ambassador of the Month

The Chamber extends thanks to the February 2010 Ambassador of the Month, Dawn Martinson of International Student Exchange (ISE)! “My Chamber membership has allowed me to meet new people and businesses that I would not have otherwise been in contact with,” Dawn says. “Many of the connections that I have made have been very valuable to me personally as well as to ISE.”  

Dawn is a Regional Manager with International Student Exchange, an organization that brings together foreign teens with volunteer American host families. Contact her at 616.455.2080 for information about how to welcome a student into your home.
