Chamber ambassadors

Ambassadors represent the Greater Seminole Area and are goodwill representatives for the Greater Seminole Area Chamber of Commerce. Ambassadors are usually the business owner or the most outgoing, pro-active employees in a company. They project a positive image for the company they represent, as well as the Chamber.
​
​Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the Chamber, but their main function is to help promote the Chamber, welcome new members to the Chamber and make Chamber events successful and enjoyable for our members.

Being a Chamber Ambassador puts you and your business in the spotlight! That gives your company free publicity as a supporter of new businesses coming to the region.

Ribbon cuttings and other Chamber events also provide a great opportunity to have a few minutes of fun and network with other movers and shakers in the community. Remember, Chamber Ambassadors are often the first community representative a new business owner meets, so it’s the perfect opportunity to make new business connections.

Some benefits include:

• Greater visibility for your business
• Opportunities to interact with new and existing businesses in the Greater Seminole Community
• Lasting business relationships and friendships
• Leadership and volunteer opportunities with the Chamber and community
• ​Quarterly Incentives
