Friendly Friday (Ambassador Committee Meeting)
Our Ambassador Committee is a group of recognized Chamber member representatives who help chamber staff call upon new and prospective members to provide information and answer questions about the Chamber of Commerce, its programs, and its services. Through committee activities, Ambassadors have a unique opportunity to bring attention to their own member firms, while at the same time enhancing the public relations and communication efforts of the Chamber of Commerce.
Any chamber member is welcome to be part of this group. Monthly meetings usually include a meeting at the chamber office to cover relevant news and updates, as well as "Friendly Friday" visits and phone calls with other members.
What are the benefits of participating as an Ambassador?
As a Chamber Ambassador, you will have the unique opportunity to network with other Chamber members on an individual basis. You can use this group to generate leads for your own business and gain personal and professional exposure in the community. There are numerous opportunities to develop and grow relationships within the Chamber as well as the Simpsonville community.
What do Ambassadors do?
- Be a community champion for the Chamber. Promote and advocate for the benefits of Chamber membership and engagement to both current and prospective members.
- Attend monthly Ambassador meetings. Meetings will typically fall on the second Friday of each month, and take place in the mid-morning. The meeting portion is followed by Friendly Friday visits and calls.
- Participate in Friendly Fridays. Friendly Fridays are a fun way to visit other chamber members, introduce yourself and meet others, and distribute relevant Chamber information. Friendly Friday member visits will follow the monthly meetings and will take approximately 1-2 hours.
- Communicate with assigned members each month. Solicit feedback, invite them to Chamber and community events, and answer any questions that may have about the Chamber. Communicate relevant information back to Chamber staff.
- Invite other members to attend Chamber events with you. Sometimes it can be hard to be the new person in the room, so our Ambassadors specialize in extending invitations and facilitating introductions.
- Serve as a volunteer at special events as needed and available.
There is no set term for Ambassador Committee service/membership. Committee members can serve indefinitely or may leave the group at any time. Ambassadors who know they won't be able to attend a monthly meeting can request a list of visits/calls to make at another time during the month.
