2026 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.

Senior Manager of Development
I am Gina Setterlind and I am with Safe Harbor, a Christ centered community for women to rebuild, renew and recover. I am thankful to be working for such an impact oriented organization that values life transformation. As a Donor Engagement Coordinator, I represent Safe Harbor in the community by sharing opportunities for engagement at churches and with businesses. During my time off, I enjoy cooking and eating out, going places with the family, shopping with my girls, walks with my dog and going to coffee with friends. I live a busy active life with my husband and three teens with sports and church activities. We are blessed and this life is a gift. Matthew 5:16 is my life verse.
