The Ambassadors serve as Chamber representatives and act as "The Face" of the Chamber. Ambassadors attend Chamber events such as Business After Hours, and ribbon cuttings, "adopt" new members for the first year of membership and are knowledgeable regarding Chamber benefits and services. One of the chief duties of the Ambassadors is to concentrate on retention by reaching out to current members to determine those programs and event that are working for the members and those that are not beneficial. Ambassadors also bring suggestion from members regarding new services and are active in recruiting new members. This committee meets for lunch the second Tuesday of every month. Currently serving as an Ambassador are:
