MBACC Member Resources

Ambassador Program

Ambassadors are a group of dedicated volunteers from various businesses throughout the Grand Strand community. Their mission is to welcome and nurture current members and recruit new chamber members. Ambassadors serve as goodwill representatives at various chamber functions and aid in the support of members.

Ambassadors earn points by calling and visiting other chamber members, attending monthly meetings, recruiting other ambassadors, having a suggested business become a chamber member, and participating in chamber projects. At the end of each month, these points are tallied and an Ambassador of the Month is named.

Why become a chamber Ambassador?

Ambassadors gain business exposure by being the first to meet chamber members and put their company's name in the forefront. By volunteering at chamber events and attending the monthly ambassador meetings, your business is always involved and kept current on what is going on within the chamber and community.
