Chamber Ambassadors
Chamber Ambassadors are a voluntary position at the Chamber of Commerce. They represent enthusiasm and a welcoming support network for community businesses.
These talented volunteer members extend the public relations arm of the Chamber by attending business open houses, groundbreakings, and ribbon cuttings.
They host Business After Hours and coordinate the AMIGO golf outing. These volunteers welcome new businesses to the Austin area and commemorate new locations and major remodels for existing businesses. Each visit is an opportunity for the Ambassadors to tour businesses, and meet local owners and staff. Service to this committee is by appointment and requires daytime business hours availability.
