Ambassadors - Washington County Chamber of Commerce

What is an Ambassador?

The primary mission of The Washington County Chamber of Commerce’s Ambassadors program is the retention of existing Chamber Members, enlistment of new members, and to serve as goodwill representatives of the chamber at a variety of functions. This energetic group helps maintain contact with other Chamber members while promoting the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and its purpose. Ambassadors attend Chamber functions and serve as “meeters and greeters” at Chamber events such as Business After Hours, Coffee & Connections, ribbon cuttings and grand openings, and other Chamber events.
