2021 Ambassador Team: ready to connect
The 2021 Aiken Chamber Ambassador Team is ready to connect and serve the Aiken Chamber’s membership.
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.”
The Ambassador Team will continue to connect one on one with members, but this year they will also invite Chamber members to participate in an introductory “Meet Your Ambassador” Zoom meeting. This will allow the ambassador to connect with each of his or her assigned members in a small group, allow the members to promote their business to one another, make connections in the community, and learn about the Chamber’s plan of action for the year.
Frank Fulmer, senior account manager for CardConnect, will return as chair of the 2021 Ambassador Team, a role he filled in 2020 and in 2013. Fulmer has been a member of the Ambassador Team for 13 years. “Being an ambassador has many advantages - working with a great group of people, meeting new people, serving my community and our merchants, forming new relationships, and last but not least, all the fun we have working as a team,“ Fulmer said.
This year’s corporate sponsor for the 12th 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.”
