Ambassadors
Heart of the Valley Chamber Ambassadors are an exclusive group of excited volunteers who are champions of the local business community and serve as an extension of our chamber. Being an Ambassador provides fabulous networking opportunities and offers multiple benefits for you and your business, but it’s also a great way to get more involved in your city and region. Ambassadors attend ribbon cutting events and assist the HOTV chamber in welcoming new businesses to the community.
Interested in being an ambassador?
Ambassadors have an opportunity to not only represent and promote the Chamber, but to connect and engage with other members, local elected officials and key business stakeholders, while also promoting their own business. Contact Deneen to learn more about getting involved.
