2022 Ambassador Team

The 2022 Aiken Chamber Ambassador Team is ready to connect and serve the Aiken Chamber’s membership. The 42-member team, who represent a cross section of the Aiken Chamber membership, qualified for the prestigious program.
Ambassadors have a prominent position of responsibility in the business community. They act as the Aiken Chamber’s primary liaisons for new and existing members and are highly visible at Chamber events.
Working in conjunction with Jim Tunison, the Chamber’s director of membership services, the Ambassador Team works to ensure members are maximizing the many benefits of Chamber membership, such as networking opportunities, educational seminars, and a variety of marketing opportunities.
“We’re extremely grateful for the time, energy and effort these professionals put into serving the Chamber and its members,” said Chamber President/CEO J. David Jameson. “The extra connection ambassadors provide to our members enables us to keep our membership engaged and helps us to keep our pulse on the business community.”
Sarah Schultz, recruitment specialist with Shepeard Community Blood Center, will serve as chair of the 2022 Ambassador Team.
“I am so excited to be on and lead the 2022 Ambassador team! I learned very quickly that the Aiken Chamber Ambassadors are salt of the earth people. They are the kind of people you just want to surround yourself with. They understand the power of showing up and supporting businesses in Aiken. It’s incredible really. If you want a positive, uplifting experience where you will find much needed connections, get involved with the Aiken Chamber. There are so many good things happening here!”
This year’s corporate sponsor for the 13th consecutive year is Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC. Lino Beltrami, plant manager of Bridgestone’s Aiken passenger plant, said, “As a member of the business community, Bridgestone has chosen to sponsor the Ambassador Program for the Aiken Chamber of Commerce again this year because of the impact these individuals have on welcoming and educating the new and existing Chamber members. Ambassadors provide great service to the businesses in Aiken.”
