Palm Bay Chamber Launches All-New Ambassador Program

May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- The Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce has initiated and re-established the Ambassador Committee according to Stuart Borton, chairman of the board of the Greater Palm Bay Chamber and Victoria Northrup, president and chief executive officer of the Palm Bay Chamber.  On April 14th, the Executive Committee of the Chamber approved a new set of ambassador criteria and hand-selected ten members of their organization to participate in this new committee.

In addition to having extensive knowledge of the chamber and membership benefits, the nominees chosen must possess strong ethics, a conviction to helping businesses grow and prosper and have exceptional communication skills. All must have successful and long-standing business relationships within the community. The members must adhere to the rules set forth by the Executive Committee and agree to attend the Ambassador Institute, an in-depth training workshop designed exclusively for the Palm Bay Chamber to be held later in the year.

   “We take the Ambassador position seriously for our Chamber,” stated Borton, “and the nominees were specifically hand-selected for their leadership and commitment skills and previous experience helping grow our organization.”
