Lake West Chamber Ambassadors
Chamber Ambassadors – Stewards of Our Community
An Ambassador for the Lake West Chamber of Commerce is recognized as a valued representative reaching out to the whole community – members, past members and prospective members. Because members of the community view Ambassadors as “Official Representatives” of the Chamber, Ambassadors are visible, friendly and knowledgeable about the Lake West Chamber in order to be helpful and responsive to questions. It is often said that the Ambassadors are the eyes and ears of the Chamber because they are “Front Line Goodwill Ambassadors”.
