Hard Working Ambassador’s Contribute to Chamber Success
Let’s hear it for the ladies who worked hard and took home the title Ambassador of the Quarter.

Each quarter the Ambassador’s tally up the points they’ve earned for helping out at events, soliciting raffle donations, and bringing in new members. The Ambassador with the most points receives the title “Ambassador of the Quarter” and wins a free quarter page ad in the Pulse Beat. Maria Galli was the last quarter winner while Darlene and Annina tied for the current quarter.
