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. Ambassadors are local professionals, business owners, community advocates and volunteers for many local initiatives.
We asked our Ambassadors a series of questions so you can get to know them better.

What advice would you give to someone considering joining the Chamber? When I became a business owner, joining this particular chamber was a no brainer. It’s not only an investment in yourself, but also investing in a community that is bigger than ourselves. You’ll connect with like-minded individuals, grow your business, and market your expertise. Through the many networking events, you’ll make lifetime friendships while building a trusted circle who will support you when you are up and especially when you are down.
