The Bloomington and Minneapolis Ambassador Committees are a dedicated group of Chamber volunteers who welcome new members and help introduce them to Chamber programs.
The Ambassadors conduct in person visits with each new member. During these meetings, the Ambassadors present the new member with a personalized membership plaque, the latest member directory and door cling. They also share ideas on how to become involved with the Chamber and how to best use membership resources. Ambassadors also represent the Chamber at grand openings and ribbon cutting events.
