The Ambassador Committee is an extension of the Chamber’s onboarding program for new members; they meet monthly at various member businesses. Our Ambassadors meet with fellow members, acting as a resource to ensure each new member feels confident about utilizing their member benefits, and that they understand involvement opportunities available to them. In addition to attending monthly meetings, Ambassadors assist with member ribbon cuttings, grand re-openings, and more. Interested in learning more? Contact Sophia at sophiak@westervillechamber.com.
