The Ambassadors are the welcoming arm of the Ankeny Area Chamber of Commerce and provide networking and support to our business community!
The Chamber Ambassador Program is a member outreach and mentoring program designed to involve and inform new members. Ambassadors are volunteers who, on behalf of the Chamber, make good will-calls to encourage strong continuing membership and active support of Chamber programs.
Ambassadors assist in membership retention by mentoring new Chamber members regularly to relay information, indentify their concerns and help them feel welcome and comfortable at Chamber events.

- Attend Chamber functions as often as possible
- Attend monthly meetings at the Chamber on the third Wednesday at 11:15 AM or 4:00 PM
