MEET THE AMBASSADORS

Ambassador Mission
To welcome new members to the Chamber, to encourage new member participation in networking and promotion opportunities, and to represent the Chamber at community functions and new business openings.

Ambassador Commitment
As the public relations arm of the Midway Chamber of Commerce, Ambassadors are often the first contact for new and prospective members.  Encouraged to select the most effective activities to meet their personal and professional objectives.  All of the activities can be conveniently worked into your schedule.


Joe Aho
Aspen Waste Systems, Inc.

How long have you been a member of the Midway Chamber of Commerce?
I have been active for 2 years. Aspen Waste Systems has been a member for 21 years. 

What aspect of being a member do you find the most beneficial?
Meeting people & building relationships.It's exciting to see new and existing businesses invest in the Chamber and reap the many benefits.

Why did you decide to join the Ambassador Committee?
As I experienced more and more of the benefits of being an active Chamber member, I asked how I could serve. The Ambassadors had a need so here I am- and it's great!

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
I enjoy just about anything outside (but only in the snow-free months). Biking, kayaking & camping are favorites.  As I'm comparatively new to St. Paul (and this is the first time in my life I've "lived urban") it's great to explore all of the activities, locations and events that make St. Paul great!
