Ambassador Committee
Purpose
The Ambassador Committee serves as the heart and handshake of the Nampa Chamber — our front line of connection, hospitality, and community spirit. This highly visible group of professionals plays a vital role in strengthening relationships between the Chamber and both our current and prospective members. Ambassadors are not only enthusiastic goodwill greeters at events, but also key players in member retention, engagement, and outreach. Through regular touchpoints, personal connections, and a passion for service, they help build a Chamber culture rooted in relationship-building, support, and shared success.
Why Become an Ambassador?
Serving as an Ambassador offers behind-the-scenes access to Chamber life, impactful opportunities to serve, and the chance to build lasting relationships in the community. Here's what one of our Ambassadors has to say:
My favorite thing about being an Ambassador is that it is Member and Community facing. I would encourage someone to become an Ambassador as we get to be involved, oftentimes from the inside, or projects and events that benefit our members, local businesses, and the community.
