What is a Nixa Chamber Ambassador?
The ambassador program meets an integral need in the Nixa Chamber of Commerce. One of the most important functions of the Chamber is to support local businesses and their representatives. We do this through various activities and events. It is with the help of ambassadors that we are able to have successful ribbon cuttings, luncheons, and larger events such as NIXPO or Suckerdays.
Being an ambassador means that you have put in the volunteer hours during the planning and execution of Chamber events. It means that you have actively supported our new members in attending their ribbon cutting ceremonies. It means that people have started seeing you as a representative of the Chamber in the community.
The Chamber shows our appreciation of these individuals by showcasing them throughout the year, on our website, in newsletters, in events, etc.
