Chamber Ambassadors are a willing group of very cool Chamber professionals who promote Chamber services and programs to Livingston Parish businesses. Ambassadors participate in welcoming and introducing businesses to the Chamber. They interact with current members to bring them up to date on the latest Chamber features and benefits that help member businesses. Ambassadors act as reinforcements for the Biz Connections events assuring new attendees know what to expect and how to navigate the event.
Ambassadors are outgoing members who know how to get the most from their Chamber membership and are enthused to share the “Chamber connections and experience” with other professionals. Ambassadors are spotlighted in several ways including. Ambassador of the Month, Ambassador of the Year, events, building a network and more.

- a positive approach to the Chamber and its members
- willingness to learn and become a Chamber "specialist"
- a desire to help businesses gain connections and exposure through Chamber programming
