Our ambassadors play a crucial role to maintain contact with Chamber members and help them recognize and utilize the value of their membership. They also ensure you are getting what you want out of our membership.
Ambassadors serve in many ways, such as:
- Greeting members at Chamber functions and performing other goodwill projects such as ribbon cuttings, etc.
- Encouraging participation of current members at Chamber functions
- Visiting members in their businesses, and subsequently providing feedback to the Chamber
- Mentoring new members

My commitment to service allows me to work within your schedule and be available at your convenience. I will be involved from the beginning to the end of the mortgage process. My goal is to know more than just your numbers--I want to earn your trust and become a lifelong lender for you and your family.
If you are considering the purchase of your first home, building the home of your dreams, refinancing, funding an investment property, or looking for that retirement getaway -- having someone who understands your needs will make all the difference in the world. Please call me today and let me personally show you that home financing can be simple!
