Congratulations to Zachary Davis, Our April 2024 Ambassador of the Month!

Zachary is a retail relationship banker with BMO – Wilson Street. He is quick to smile and is a first-year member of the Ambassador committee. You’ll find Zachary supporting new businesses and members at ribbon cutting ceremonies or at Net-Working It events. He is also a member of the Batavia Chamber’s Connectors group. We are thankful that he took the plunge to become one of our dedicated ambassadors!


As a relationship banker with BMO, Zachary is charged with providing outstanding customer service for clients and soon-to-be clients. These skills are important to the Batavia Chamber, which means he has what it takes to be a stellar ambassador, too. Zachary’s willingness to help and build relationships on our behalf is valued and deeply appreciated by our members, the Board of Directors, and Chamber staff. Thank you for all you do to support the Batavia Chamber of Commerce and the community!
