Committees

Ambassadors:
The Ambassadors Committee mission is to welcome new members and new businesses to the Chamber and encourage their participation in Chamber activities. Ambassadors meet one-on-one with the Chamber members to present annual membership certificates. Ambassadors also represent the Chamber at such things as community functions, ground-breakings and store openings. This committee is a great networking opportunity as well as a great opportunity to meet new chamber members. (Meets the 1st Friday of every other month)
