Ambassadors

Ambassadors act as the “Face of the Chamber,” and are selected through a process of application, approval by the Ambassador Committee and Board of Directors. Ambassadors serve one year terms and – if interested – may be nominated to serve as a Board Member should an open seat become available.

Volunteers

Greater Hewitt Chamber Volunteers support the Chamber’s mission by working large events and light office duties as available. Special thanks to our volunteers! Contact Misti@Hewittchamber.com to learn more.

I'm a GHCOC Ambassador, What's Next?

Our next ambassador kickoff is set for February 28th 9 am at Black Rifle Coffee.

As an ambassador, you’re the face of the chamber and encouraged to attend as many ribbon cuttings as your schedule permits.  Ambassador activity will be reviewed and measured on a quarterly basis.  Once $100 Hewitt Dollars have been accumulated, a name badge will be received.  If expectations are not met, Ambassadors may be removed from the roster.

What are Hewitt Rewards?

The Greater Hewitt Chamber is successful because of our dedicated volunteers and their support year-round. All Chamber volunteers are eligible to earn “Hewitt Dollars” as rewards based on their activities which are tracked by the Executive Director January through November. Volunteers are provided their Hewitt Dollars (essentially monopoly money) to spend during our rewards party silent auction each fall. Items to spend dollars on include goodie baskets, gift cards, event tickets and more items from local businesses!

The Hewitt Dollars system is also utilized by the Board of Directors and Staff as they review volunteer performance throughout the year, and the Awards Committee utilizes it to assist in the selection of annual business awards including Ambassador of the Year, which is presented at the Chamber’s banquet. 

Special thanks to our current ambassadors!
