Chamber Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the Chamber, the membership and the business community. Their mission is to support the business community by mentoring current and new members.

Volunteering as a Ambassador provides the following benefits to you and your business:

• Meet potential business and social contacts.
• One-on-one contact with the “movers and shakers” of the Knox County.
• Exposure of your name and company.
• “Sneak peek” of new businesses and invitations to celebrations in the community.
