The Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Program

Ambassadors are a tremendous help to the Chamber as they provide us with updated news and information about our community and our members, and act as the Chamber’s “eyes and ears.” This is a great group of friendly and outgoing volunteers who attend and host our Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies, welcome our guests at our Annual Awards Banquet and Annual Chamber Golf Outing, and write welcome notes to our new Chamber Member businesses!

Current Ambassadors

  • “I became a Chamber Ambassador because I’m deeply passionate about supporting and connecting with our community. Having worked at the Chamber, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact it has on local businesses and organizations. This role allows me to continue giving back, building relationships, and helping others feel welcomed and supported—just as I’ve felt throughout my time here. Chamber Ambassadors provide the Mt. Pleasant community with advocacy, connection, and support. We’re proud to be champions not only for the Chamber, but for the entire community. By sharing the Chamber’s story, welcoming new members, and building relationships, we help passionate business owners thrive and strengthen the local economy.”

I believe in the value of supporting local businesses and helping create a welcoming environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

    As an ambassador, I have the privilege of representing the Chamber, building relationships with new and existing members, and helping others discover all that makes Mt. Pleasant such a special place. It’s an opportunity to give back, share my enthusiasm for our area, and contribute to the kind of community I’m proud to be part of.”
