Committees
Ambassadors/Ribbon Cutting
Captains: Bobby Bridwell, Tyrone Curl, Darla O'Neill, Dustin Beavers, Grace Handler, Mary Mocniak, Paul Smith III, Ray Mitchum, Ron Johnson, Dakota Marks, and Ted Smith.
The Ambassadors are the public relations arm of the Chamber, providing ribbon cutting, grand opening and groundbreaking services and support. Ambassadors benefit by being on the inside track of new developments, meeting new business owners and helping the Chamber support its members. If your job includes being active in the community and making frequent contact with prospective customers, you should be an ambassador.
- The Ambassador committee is sponsored by Millard's Crossing Historic Village.
