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.
