Ambassador Committee
Statement of Purpose
The mission of the Chamber Ambassadors is to promote the role of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce in the community by welcoming new members, encouraging current members to maximize their membership and aid in maintaining/increasing the retention rate of new and existing members through reinforcing the Chamber benefits. Ambassadors create a positive image for the Chamber by acting as liaisons between members and the Chamber Staff.
Ambassador Commitment
The Ambassador Committee is composed of 15-30 active member volunteers who donate 3-5 hours per month toward various Chamber activities. Ambassadors are strongly encouraged to attend 4 out of 6 bi-monthly meetings. Ideally this will be a 2 year commitment. Committee members should be of excellent character, personality, and possess leadership abilities. They must be dedicated to the goals of the Chamber and willing to provide the time and effort necessary to achieve those goals.
