Committees

Ambassadors Committee
 

Each Ambassador serves as a representative of the Chamber by greeting people at our events, assisting the host at ribbon cuttings, participating in new member orientations and encouraging members to get involved.

This committee also acknowledges two Students of the Month at each Chamber Luncheon and developed a Student Scholarship Fund to help local students continue their education. Ambassadors’ Student Scholarship Fund Brochure

BuyBOTHELL Committee

Works to promote an awareness campaign to encourage people to shop locally, thereby putting tax dollars back into the local economy and increasing your business.  This conscious choice of where to shop supports a strong community where you live, work, or go to school. 

The committee promotes this important concept through a BuyBOTHELL website (www.buybothell.org), a Guide to Goods & Services (2008 Guide), events and many other promotions to increase your business.
