An Ambassador is a very important part of the
day-to-day operations of the Bend Chamber. As an
Ambassador you are a goodwill representative, or the
public relations arm of the organization that works
for business and community interests in Bend.
Ambassadors serve as the welcoming committee for new
members, are a link to existing members, and a
conduit for potential new members.
The Bend Chamber Ambassadors work to facilitate Chamber
membership and participation in Chamber activities.
Ambassadors actively recruit new partners for the
Chamber. Remember, anyone interested in the
community is a potential partner. For more
information on becoming an Ambassador please contact
Tim Casey at the Bend Chamber.
Ambassador of
the Year
A special thanks to Jay Walsh with Elk Lake Resort for
donating the 2007 Ambassador of the Year prize which
includes:
Cabin for 4 with a two night stay, dinner for 2 (one
night) and free activities (kayaking, canoe, snow
shoes, etc.)
