The Neponset River Regional Chamber Ambassador Team is the premier volunteer group receptive to the needs of all members. Our Ambassadors gather information vital to a proactive Chamber.
We are currently seeking a few experienced members to join the team.
The Mission of the Ambassadors is to:
- Inform new members of the many benefits and services afforded them by Chamber membership, by personally delivering an information packet to each new member, inviting them to meetings and encouraging their involvement.
- Aid in retention of current members by providing feedback to the Chamber staff and Board of Directors regarding needs and issues of concern to members through completion of survey forms. Encourage member involvement on committees and at chamber functions. Provide every member the opportunity to be visited at least once a year.
- Increase membership in the NRRC, by inviting non-member companies to join the NRRC .
- Assist in making new and inactive members feel welcome at Chamber events.
