Chamber Ambassadors
This energetic group of people maintain contact with other Chamber members, serve as mentors for new Chamber members, and promote the Chamber of Commerce and its purpose. Ambassadors attend Chamber functions and serve as the “meeters and greeters” at Chamber events such as the monthly Business After Hours, Puttin’ On Pekin breakfasts, the Annual Meeting, business grand openings and ribbon cuttings, and Chamber forums. Many times, the Ambassadors are the first contact a new members will have upon joining the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce.
Examples of Activities
- Serve as mentors to new members, ensuring they get the maximum value from their membership.
- Attend Business After Hours.
- Attend Ribbon Cutting and Groundbreaking Ceremonies.
- Volunteer at July 4th Celebration.
- Greet at the Annual Meeting.

They meet at 7:30 AM on the 2nd Wednesday of each month – and they get involved!
