Chamber Ambassadors are among the most connected and active members. These dedicated volunteers share their knowledge and experiences with our newest members guiding them along the path of Chamber success.

After joining, every new member is connected with an ambassador who can answer questions about the business community, getting involved, chamber membership and more. Ambassadors are local professionals, business owners, community advocates and volunteers for many local initiatives.
