Ambassadors are highly visible, prestigious volunteers who serve as the Chamber’s primary liaison to chamber members. Considered the goodwill arm of the Chamber, Ambassadors play an essential role in member communication and retention, and each Ambassador is charged with conveying member needs, questions and concerns to Chamber staff, keeping our Chamber in line with our member’s desires.
Upon their appointment, each Ambassador makes a commitment to build lasting relationships with the Chamber membership, particularly new members, in order to build a loyal, committed membership base that will continue to support, participate in and invest in the Chamber and Little River community.
Are you looking for a way to expand your network and grow your business development while volunteering for your Chamber? Then we want to hear from you. Please contact Jennifer at Jennifer@littleriverchamber.org for consideration.
