Ambassador Committee

The purpose of the Ambassador Committee is to ensure that our new members feel welcomed into the Chamber and are offered assistance in utilizing the benefits available to them. Our committee comprises volunteers from member businesses who call upon new members, enhancing and improving communication between the Chamber and its membership. Being a member of the Ambassador Committee is another example of the quality networking offered through the Chamber, and it helps members form and develop relationships. In addition to making “welcome” and education calls, Ambassadors represent the Chamber at events such as mixers and ribbon cuttings and occasionally assist in promoting events or services. This, in turn, enhances the visibility of their companies and provides additional opportunities to market their products and services as well.

The Committee is chaired by Mark Cole, owner The Mark Cole Agency, a full-service provider of insurance and financial products, in Austintown, Ohio. Mark has been a Chamber member since 2009 and an Ambassador since 2010. He will be the first to tell you that the Chamber, and the Ambassador program, in particular, has helped his business grow through referrals and contacts made through the networking opportunities. As he says, “Joining the Chamber has created relationships that will last a lifetime.”
