Ambassador Team

Staying Engaged with Members

The individuals of the ambassador team are an extension of the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce staff. By connecting with existing Chamber members, the ambassador team keeps businesses informed about the resources and opportunities that are available to them through their membership. Any feedback collected by the ambassador team is reported back to Chamber staff in a timely manner. These individuals are well-connected and knowledgeable about available resources and services that will contribute to the growth of your business. 

For more information regarding the Ambassador program, please call the Chamber at 417.624.4150.
