The Chamber Ambassador Program is a member outreach and retention program designed to involve and inform new members. Ambassadors are volunteers who, on behalf of the chamber, make goodwill calls to encourage strong continuing membership and active support of Chamber member programs. They assist in membership retention by contacting new businesses and Chamber members regularly to relay information, identify concerns, and help them feel welcome and comfortable at chamber events. They also volunteer time to make community events a success. The Ambassadors are a working team who have a sense of commitment to our community and a willingness to invest a significant amount of time each week.

Some of the benefits of being a Chamber Ambassador are:

• Obtain a good knowledge of Chamber programs
• Meet business leaders for potential business and social contacts
• Obtain an insider's perspective of the Dayton business community
• Exposure to the Chamber Business Community
• Personal and Leadership Growth
