Welcome to the Chamber of St. Matthews Ambassadors!
The Chamber of St. Matthews Ambassador Program promotes awareness about our Chambers benefits and services while encouraging members to become more involved in our organization. Our Ambassadors are highly visible, prestigious volunteers who serve as the Chamber’s primary liaison to new Chamber members. Considered by many to be the goodwill arm of the Chamber. The Ambassador committee plays an essential role in member recruitment,
communication and retention, and each Ambassador is charged with conveying member needs, questions and concerns to Chamber staff, keeping our Chamber in line with our members’ needs, desires and expectations.
Our goals as one of largest Chambers in the greater Louisville area is to make sure all new and existing members feel like they are welcome and part of our family. Help “connect” our members to new relationships.
