Dear Chamber Member:
The Ambassador Council of
the Frisco Chamber of Commerce serves as
the public relations arm of the
Chamber. Ambassadors make membership
goodwill calls, welcome new businesses
and new members, recruit new members to
the Chamber, and serve as the personal
representative of the Chamber throughout
the community.
You are invited to serve
as an Ambassador to the Frisco Chamber.
As a Frisco Chamber of Commerce
Ambassador I willingly accept the
responsibilities listed below:
1. Attend
ribbon cuttings, ground breakings, and
special ceremonies to represent the
Chamber and participate in various
activities as stated in the Ambassador
Council Goals. Ambassadors that are
assigned to a team are expected to
attend a minimal amount of Chamber
functions. Active Ambassadors are
expected to earn at least 400 points per
quarter. If any Ambassador is
consistently unable to meet this
requirement, they will be reclassified
as “Inactive.” They may still attend
all Chamber functions; however no points
will be accumulated.
2. Call
on and recruit new Chamber members, as
well as recruit new Ambassadors. Your
“Recruitment Points” will not be
credited until the new Ambassador earns
400 points.
3. Wear
your Ambassador badge and dress
professionally to openings and functions
where Ambassadors are the key
participants.
4. Ribbon
Cuttings are meant to introduce the new
business to the Chamber and make them
feel welcome. It is the new members’
day to shine and our job to listen and
learn about their business. IT IS
NOT A TIME FOR AMBASSADORS TO PROMOTE
THEIR OWN BUSINESS. Follow up
contact with new businesses should be
made at a later date.
5. Serve
as host at Chamber functions or by
request. Assist with Chamber programs,
i.e., special events and membership
drive.
6. It
is the Ambassadors responsibility to
sign in at all functions, review your
points & make any corrections by the 5th
of each month. Points will be awarded
ONLY for events directly relating to the
Frisco Chamber; not for functions of
Chamber members. NO POINTS will be
awarded if the ambassador leaves before
or arrives after the ribbon cutting
photo has been taken. Point correction
will only be accepted up to 30 days
after point publication.
7. Attend
scheduled Ambassador Council Luncheon
meetings.
8. Attend
Ambassador Orientation.
We are asking you
to state your commitment to serve as an
Ambassador for one calendar year period
by signing the Frisco Ambassador
Application.
