As the Chamber is growing, so is its need for Ambassadors. This committee is for those looking for an opportunity to meet others and establish greater visibility for the Chamber and for themselves.

The Chamber is always looking for members that are willing to act as the public relations arm of the Chamber. Further your knowledge and potential of your Chamber membership, gain the opportunity to personally meet hundreds of Chamber and community members, and develop greater leadership skills with new friends on the committee.
