Sanford Chamber Ambassador Program

Establish a Voice in Your Community

The Ambassador Program consists of enthusiastic volunteers from the Chamber membership who donate their time to help build member commitment and raise community awareness of Sanford Chamber activities and benefits. In doing so, the Ambassadors grow professionally and personally by building business relationships within the community. The program is ideal if you have a desire to:

  • Become more active in the local business environment
  • Raise awareness of your business or organization
  • Give back to your community

Each year, the program accepts up to 20 individuals to serve as Ambassadors. Applications are accepted year round, and acceptance into the program is dependent on the number of open positions. If you are accepted into the program, you will receive training on the skills and responsibilities necessary to succeed in the program. Getting involved with the Ambassador Program is one of the first steps you can take to become more involved with SAGA.

Meet Your Ambassadors

The Ambassador Program carefully selects individuals every year that best represent the rich and diverse Chamber community.

The list of 2023-2024 Ambassadors will be added here soon.
