Always smiling, always giving of their time and talents, the Gwinnett Chamber Ambassadors act as an extension of Chamber staff by acclimating new members and serving as mentors to fellow members. The Ambassadors make it possible for the Chamber to offer many of its programs and services through the time and work they donate.
The two committees are the Event committee and the New Member Committee. They assist with providing hospitality through greeting at events, phone calls and personal visits. By serving as a volunteer, Ambassadors have the opportunity to make valuable business contacts, publicize their respective companies and receive added value for their membership investment.
Serving as an Ambassador is a serious commitment requiring the allocation of time and participation in various activities. Once a member has experienced the Chamber for a full year and has become active with numerous programs, they can get involved as an Ambassador by being nominated by a current Ambassador. It takes a commitment of learning about all that the Chamber has to offer so that they can adequately describe all the products and services of the Chamber to current and prospective members.
