The Santa Barbara Chamber Ambassador Council’s purpose is to assist in retaining and recruiting members to the Chamber of Commerce by acting as a liaison between new members and the staff of the Chamber. Ambassadors are responsible for notifying the members of upcoming events and information about the Chamber and assist members in helping their business to flourish in the community.
The Council also adopts a non-profit organization or cause to support for the year. Last year, the Council was responsible for putting together Old Havana Nights, a very successful fundraiser at the Canary Hotel that supported, “A Chance for Change Scholarship” fund raising $10,000 to help high school students at risk for gang violence.
