Volunteer/Service Opportunity: Help Strengthen the Work of Your Chamber!
The Alpharetta Chamber is looking for a few dedicated Member Ambassadors! We need people of all ages and industries to welcome new members in 2021 and make sure those new members are encouraged to network and get the most out of their Chamber membership. Member Ambassadors need to have been an Alpharetta Chamber member for at least one year, be in good standing and able to attend at least 9 monthly meetings in 2021 (meetings normally held the 1st Wednesday of the month at 9 AM via Zoom). This is a great way for members to further connect with other members of the Chamber, and our Member Ambassadors are esteemed volunteers. The Chamber is always looking for great Ambassador candidates, but we’d love to see nominations before January 31st so we can train chosen new Member Ambassadors in February! If you would like to nominate someone or yourself for this prestigious position, or have further questions, please email Member Services Coordinator Melody Cookson at [email protected].
