The Miami County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors will be a public relations extension and goodwill committee dedicated to a greater community. The committee shall concern itself with activities to welcome new businesses to our area and to show sincere concern to existing businesses and industries. It will also be involved in activities which will enhance the image of the Chamber, create solidarity within the Chamber and community and bring about a greater appreciation among community citizens of what the Chamber stands for in terms of goodwill, civic participation, recognition and appreciation.
Miami County Ambassador Activities:
Business Break: The Business Break is a luncheon held the first Wednesday every other month beginning in March. The lunches begin at 12 noon at a Firehouse Ministries located on the corner of Main and Miami Streets. Members have an opportunity to share information with other members such as special events, new services, new employees, etc. The luncheon also features two speakers that will present a brief overview of their business and the services they offer. The 2010 schedule is March 3
rd, June 2nd, October 13th, and December 8th. If you are interested in speaking at a Business Break, please let us know. There is a minimal charge for being apresenter and that includes the cost of your lunch.
Business After Hours: The Business After Hours are held randomly throughout the year at various businesses. The Chamber will take care of sending out the invitations, making personal invites to Chamber members to increase attendance and greet individuals as they arrive. The cost to host a Business After Hours is $150 and refreshments are the responsibility of the participating business. This is a great way to get Chamber members inside your door.
Ribbon Cuttings: This is a way to welcome a new business or recognize an expansion with an existing business. You need not be a Chamber member for this service. It is just our way of showing our community support. The Chamber makes the necessary contacts such as local officials and media, plus supply the ribbon and the scissors.
Miami Mike: The Miami Mike is an award that is presented to a Chamber member in recognition for making more of Miami County through expansion, considerable improvements and/or a new structure.
Mentoring: The ambassadors act as mentors for the Chamber members. They are in contact with
members and keep them informed on upcoming events and assist when needed.
