Chamber Ambassadors

AMBASSADOR COMMITTEE - MEETS MONTHLY

The Greater Fayetteville Chamber Ambassador Program is made up of enthusiastic Chamber volunteers who serve as the Chamber’s official “public relations” team and welcoming committee. Ambassadors help ensure our members’ questions, needs, and concerns are heard and addressed, while also supporting the Chamber’s efforts to engage, educate, and strengthen connections with both new and existing members.  Ambassadors play a vital role in member retention, recruitment, and communication—all while gaining meaningful business advantages in the process!

Serving as an Ambassador elevates your professional visibility, positions you as a trusted connector in the local business community, and creates consistent opportunities to build relationships with leaders, decision-makers, and fellow members. Ambassadors expand their networks through active involvement, gain community recognition, strengthen credibility among peers, and sharpen communication and marketing skills through hands-on engagement at Chamber events and member activities.

Ambassadors are interviewed prior to selection and must complete training. To be considered, you must have been a Chamber member for at least one (1) year. Apply online below, or email Angela Selitto at ASELITTO@FAYBIZ.COM for more information.
