Our primary vision as the Co-Chairpersons for the Thomson-McDuffie Chamber of Commerce's Ambassadors Program is to lead the Ambassadors as goodwill representatives of the Chamber at a variety of Chamber functions. This energetic group helps maintain contact with other Chamber members while promoting the Thomson-McDuffie Chamber of Commerce and its purpose.
In some instances, Ambassadors are the first contact that new members have upon joining The Thomson-McDuffie Chamber of Commerce. Ambassadors integrate members into the Chamber's programs and services by meeting and greeting members at Business After Hours, Ribbon Cuttings and other events. They help with membership retention through personal contact and keeping new members as informed and involved as possible. They promote attendance and participation at Chamber Events. Only with this kind of commitment can the group achieve its goals and maintain its standard of excellence and service to the Chamber.
We hold monthly Ambassador Luncheons on the first Wednesday of each month. If you or someone in your organization is interested in participating in the program please contact me at 706-975-2118.
Respectfully,
Martie Ewest & Wayne Parham
Board of Directors &
Co-Chairpersons of the Chamber Ambassadors

In February the class toured the State Capital where they had a question/ answer session with Representative Barry Fleming, and were able to get a photo opp with Governor Nathan Deal. They also visited the Georgia Power resource center for economic development where Mr. Matt Forshee and his crew educated the class on community statistics and procedures dealing with local area development. During the March session the class visited Thomson- McDuffie Middle School, Briarwood Academy and the aviation department of Augusta Tech. Leaders from our community educated the class on facility and program highlights along with current statistics dealing with their areas of expertise.
