Ambassador Program

The Ambassadors serve to create and administer an integrated awareness of and involvement in the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce...

The Ambassador program was established as a coalition of business professionals who act as Chamber representatives within the business community.  The Ambassadors are an all-volunteer committee comprised of men and women of Chamber member firms who serve as the “goodwill arm” of the Chamber and thus are charged with extending the hand of friendship to new and old members alike.

The Ambassadors promote retention by welcoming new members, making goodwill calls, assisting with ribbon cuttings and other member events and attending various Chamber functions. The Chamber relies on the Ambassadors to aid in relaying information to and from members, identifying member concerns and garnering support for the Chamber.
