Congratulations, Richard Clark!

Our November 2025

Ambassador of the Month!


The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that the November Ambassador of the Month is Richard Clark! Richard is a second-year ambassador and continues to be a wonderful addition to this voluntary committee. He contacts members on our behalf and attends our events, including ribbon cuttings for new members.


Richard’s friendly nature makes him a natural for the Ambassador program. He is an entrepreneur, creating Area Code Audio to collaborate with creators to build podcasts that turn interest into connection and impact. Last year, Richard launched the podcast Area Code: Batavia to explore the community spirit of Batavia. Many of those he featured were Batavia Chamber members, which led to his being named the Chamber’s Donna Dallesasse Award winner for 2025. He also serves on the leadership committee at Batavia Covenant Church, where he and his family are members. As an ambassador, your dedication and effort are appreciated and highly valued by the Board of Directors, Chamber staff, and membership! Thank you, Richard!
