What
is a Chamber Ambassador?
Ambassadors are special people! They represent the Chillicothe community and the
surrounding area and are goodwill "ambassadors" for the local Chamber of
Commerce. Ambassadors are usually the most outgoing, pro-active employees in their
company. They project a positive image for the company they represent and for the Chamber.
Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the communities the Chamber promotes (see
suggestions below), but their main function is to help promote the Chamber of Commerce and
make the Chamber events successful and enjoyable for everyone!
Why Become a
Chamber Ambassador?
It is an opportunity for you and your employer to be in the spotlight. The local newspaper
photographs each ribbon cutting for new businesses. This gives your company free publicity
as a supporter of new businesses coming to the area and of your Chamber of Commerce.
Refreshments are served at the ribbon cuttings, and it is a great opportunity to have a
few minutes of fun and network with other movers and shakers in the community. By
volunteering at Chamber events and attending the monthly luncheons as an Ambassador, your
business is always involved and kept up to date on what is going on within the community
and surrounding area. The luncheon programs are informative and helpful to you as a
business person. It takes teamwork to help create jobs and bring new business to the
community. By serving as an Ambassador, you are showing you are a part of that team to
infuse new life into the local economy and make our Chamber and its members successful!
What is
Required of a Chamber Ambassador?
Chamber Ambassadors are asked to promote the Chamber in the community, help the Chamber
Board and staff host special events, attend periodic ribbon cuttings for new businesses
throughout the year, attend 2-3 Ambassador Planning Luncheons each year, attend the
monthly Chamber luncheon programs, if at all possible, volunteer with their time and
enthusiasm at the Chamber fundraising events and annual community special events, such as:
