Become a Chamber Volunteer!
One of the best ways to grow your business is by becoming a Chamber volunteer. There are countless opportunities throughout the year where we need helping hands. How about yours?

• Ambassador Program: Chamber Ambassadors are a special group of people who volunteer their time to help promote Airport Area businesses and support Chamber functions. You’ll find ambassadors in attendance at all of our Chamber events, ready and willing to help welcome newcomers and visitors to our organization. Special duties include conducting Ribbon Cuttings, Milestone Anniversary presentations, Member Orientations, and Business After Hours mixers. Our Ambassadors are the backbone of the Chamber and perform valuable services the recruit and retain members. To join this exciting team of Chamber volunteers, check the Event Calendar or contact the Chamber for the next scheduled meeting. Ambassadors are recognized monthly and the Ambassador of the Year is announced at the Annual Celebration of Excellence.
• Board Member: If you’d like to step up to a leadership role, why not consider the Chamber? Volunteers from throughout our service area are selected by the board to serve three-year terms. The Board meets every other month, and spearheads initiatives and policy for our organization. Interested? Contact Sally Haas.
• Committee Chairs: If you’d like to a leadership role in a focused area, chairing a committee is a great way to support the Chamber. Signature events and special task forces are a great way to contribute and advance your organization.
