The Ambassadors are a highly energetic group of individuals who volunteer their time for the Chamber and Community. They meet on a monthly basis to discuss upcoming events. They are responsible for the Chamber ribbon cuttings, the major Chamber events (Annual Dinner, FLOG Fest, and USO Show), and they attend the Chamber Business after Hours and Good Morning Alpena events. They are the welcome committee for new businesses and the congratulatory committee for businesses who make major changes/additions/improvements.

Ambassador Committee spaces are limited but they always accept applications. To fill out an application or to read the Ambassador Committee guidelines, please click here.
