Chamber's Ambassadors Help Members Maximize Benefits

Liaisons Play Vital Role In Member Retention, Recruitment And Communication

One of the most active and visible committees within the Chamber, the Ambassador's Club is a group of representatives dedicated to recruiting new members and helping existing ones maximize their membership benefits through volunteer, relationship building, and professional development opportunities.

“The Ambassador's Club is the ultimate in involvement,” Celisa Willson, Iris Advertising, said. “You get in front of the ‘movers and shakers' of the Chamber, stay informed about economic development and the community, and receive recognition at functions.”

As a vital part of Chamber public relations, Ambassadors volunteer hundreds of hours every year to help ensure that Chamber events run smoothly and that the organization's membership remains strong and well informed. Ambassador's Club members are highly visible and readily accessible at events such as PM Connections, EarlyNet, and First Thursday Luncheons. Members are always distinguishable by the red “Ambassador” ribbons that they wear.

Participation as an Ambassador provides the volunteer with extended business contacts through active association with other volunteers and members, professional and community recognition for both the volunteer and their business, as well as expanded communication and marketing skills.

“Being an Ambassador has enabled me to make key contacts and develop long-lasting relationships,” Willson said. “In my opinion, it is the best volunteer opportunity for members. Your contribution of time is equally rewarded.”

The Ambassador's Club meets on the first Thursday of every month from 8-9 a.m. at the Chamber offices, located at 411 Belle Grove Drive in Richardson . To be considered for inclusion as an Ambassador, a current Chamber member in good standing must first attend a minimum of three meetings. For more information on the Ambassador's Club, please contact Ellie Jackson or Julie Neatherlin at 972-234-4141.
