2021 Ambassadors

Ambassadors are chamber members who volunteer their time to provide a crucial link between the Burke County Chamber, its members and the greater business community. They assist chamber staff to ensure that all members receive the maximum return on their investment. Ambassadors Council members serve as liaisons between the Chamber and its members by personally visiting and calling their peers. Through their efforts, Ambassadors help fellow members engage in events and money saving opportunities that help them make full use of their membership. They also attend and aid Chamber staff at our various networking and Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies. Their primary responsibilities are to help in the retention of current members, the recruitment of new members and to assist staff at chamber programs and events. Ambassadors are at the center of business activity in the community.
