Ambassadors are the Chamber's most visible committee. They conduct member visits, serve as greeters at Chamber events and help to coordinate business Grand Openings and Ribbon Cutting ceremonies. Ambassadors can easily be recognized at events by their Chamber badge prominently displayed. As representatives of the Chamber, Ambassadors are often called upon to answer questions and be the intermediary between the public and the Corona Chamber of Commerce. In addition to their contribution to the Chamber and their prominence in the community, Ambassadors often cultivate their own personal contacts while completing their duties.
Committee meetings are held once per month. Please refer to the Chamber calendar for next meeting date. If you would like more information about the committee please email Deserie@mychamber.org .
