Chamber Ambassadors
Chamber Ambassadors are the face of The Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce!
The mission of the Ambassador Program is to significantly improve the membership long term retention rate by building relationships with Chamber members, by improving involvement, support of all Chamber events as well as other activities such as attending ribbon cuttings, mixers and Chamber events. The time and energy that is devoted by our amazing Ambassadors is so beneficial to the Chamber and to our members! We are very thankful for our volunteers and ambassadors.
The Ambassador’s annual goal is to increase the retention rate of new and existing members by conducting a program of goodwill calls; reinforcing the benefits of Chamber membership, increasing members’ knowledge about programs, services and benefits of the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce; and keeping the channels of communication open between the membership and the Chamber’s Board of Directors.
Ambassadors aid the Chamber with membership retention by making personal thank you calls monthly, in person visits and by helping Chamber members understand and use their available membership benefits.
Additional activities include serving as greeters at Business After Hours Mixers and Networking luncheons, attending ribbon cuttings/grand openings, and participation in the Annual Operation Thank You Campaign and the membership drive. Ambassadors participate and also support the following Chamber events: Kerrville Area Chamber Of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet, Pickleball Tournament, Economic Summit and the First Friday Wine Share/Business Expo, plus so much more!
The Benefits include:
- Greater visibility for your business
- Opportunities to interact with new businesses in the Kerrville Area
- Greater opportunity to direct input to the Chamber
- Exclusive opportunities and priority invitations to community activities and events
- Lasting business relationships and lifelong friendships
