Congratulations to Mike Burke -

Our April Ambassador of the Month!

The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that the Ambassador of the month is Mike Burke! Mike is in her sixth year as a valued Chamber Ambassador. She is a go-to person for the Chamber staff, often being one of the first to say yes when we need volunteers. Mike is a frontline representative for the Batavia Chamber at public and Chamber sponsored events and activities. She aids in the promotion, volunteer support and development of various Chamber-sponsored events. Mike generously speaks highly of our organization and helps recruit new members and donations for our raffles.


Besides being engaged with the Chamber, Mike is an active member and the past-president of the Batavia Women’s Club. She also serves on the Batavia Parks Foundation board and is a past major supporter of Batavia Youth Baseball and many other organizations supporting the vitality and strength of Batavia. In fact, her ambassador badge reads “Community Connector!”


Mike, as an ambassador, your dedication and efforts are appreciated and highly valued by the Board of Directors, Chamber staff and membership. Thank you!
