Let us introduce ourselves

Each board director is an ambassador for 12 members. You'll make quarterly calls to these members to invite them to upcoming events and update them on new benefit information.

• Recruiting new members. Share with your tribe why you joined the chamber and share stories with businesses and people you meet.
• Know the basics of chamber membership and how dues work.
• If you are asked a question you cannot answer, it’s okay to say “I don’t know” but follow it up with “I’ll find out for you.” Then follow up or refer them to the appropriate channel/person.
• Share social media posts from the chamber. This could be upcoming events, job opportunities or new member features. Sharing the chamber’s story with your friends and followers, helps us reach more people.
• Understand the mission of the chamber, as well as its strategic initiatives, which will help you make decisions and speak more confidently to potential members.

As a chamber board member, you are called upon to attend one public event monthly of ribbon cuttings or other public-facing chamber events. These could include new business openings, anniversaries, and public initiatives. Many of these are during the business day and may require a flexible schedule.
