Burnet Chamber Ambassador Lunch at Trailblazer Grille in Burnet

Chamber Ambassador Committee

Ambassadors work to enhance the image of the Chamber and promote membership by attending Chamber functions, visiting current and prospective Chamber members, and assisting Chamber staff with various programs and projects throughout the year.

As an Ambassador, your role includes promoting membership and encouraging participation in Chamber functions, greeting members at events, and checking in our current members. With a membership of over 300, it is difficult for Chamber staff to make calls and visits to all members. Ambassador retention calls make it possible for each member to receive personal contact.

Monthly ambassador meetings will be held to familiarize Ambassadors with new members and upcoming Chamber happenings. Meetings also allow an opportunity to provide an update on individual retention visit and recruitment progress. Ambassadors will be invited to operate as a sounding board for membership and event ideas.
