Chamber Ambassadors are a special group of people who volunteer their time to help promote the Greater Fort Smith Region business community and support Chamber functions. Ambassadors are usually the most outgoing, pro-active employees in their company. They project a positive image for the company they represent as well as for the Chamber. Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the Chamber, but their main function is to help promote the Chamber, welcome new members to the Chamber and make Chamber events successful and enjoyable for our members.
Why become a Chamber Ambassador?
Being a Chamber Ambassador puts you and your business in the spotlight! Ribbon cutting photos are printed in the Chamber's newsletter The Catalyst and the Times Record which collectively reach nearly 60,000 homes each month. They are also hosted on the Chamber's Web site which receives thousands of hits each month. That gives your company free publicity as a supporter of new businesses coming to the region.
Ribbon cuttings and other Chamber events also provide a great opportunity to have a few minutes of fun and ne
twork with other movers and shakers in the community. Remember, Chamber ambassadors are often the first community representative a new business owner meets so its the perfect opportunity to make new business connections.
