Plano Chamber Ambassadors serve as the welcoming arms of the Plano Chamber. The Ambassador Club is a membership outreach and retention program of dedicated volunteers who introduce prospective members to the Plano Chamber and provide support and mentorship to new members.
Plano Chamber Ambassadors have an unparalleled opportunities to build great business relationships, not only with each other, but with new and prospective members. You will see Ambassadors at ribbon cuttings, grand openings, and every other Plano Chamber networking event and function. In other words, the Ambassadors also bring the fun.
