Islamorada Chamber Ambassador Program
The Chamber is happy to announce a new Ambassador program designed to foster growth and generate goodwill by engaging the business community.
Ambassadors shall serve as the public relations arm of the Chamber of Commerce. Their function will be to attract new members, retain current members and promote Islamorada businesses to insure continued growth for our economy.
A Chamber Ambassador must be proud of Islamorada and ready to actively share that enthusiasm with others. The underlying goal shall be to form a team of community-spirited individuals who are outgoing, dedicated Chamber members or member employees.
Ambassadors will serve as the welcoming branch of the Chamber, providing a great way to get to know everyone quickly by assisting the Chamber in business recognition and public relations.
As official chamber representatives, Ambassadors will conduct ground breakings and ribbon cuttings, serve as greeters at Chamber functions and other special events. This personal contact will be a pleasant surprise to the recipient and a rewarding experience to the Ambassador.
The Chamber’s Ambassadors are as follows:
- Carolyn Ambler
- Aaron Austin
- Lori Bailey
- Magda Bates
