2020 Ambassadors are ready to work

A dynamic and enthusiastic group of ambassadors recently completed training for the Aiken Chamber’s 2020 Ambassador Program. The 51-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. They assist members by introducing them to the benefits and services of membership and by serving as a means for members to engage in the organization.
“I am always impressed by our Ambassador Program,” said Chamber President/CEO J. David Jameson. “These volunteers display a keen level of interest and commitment to helping us meet our goal of connecting and engaging our members. They are an asset to the Chamber, and I look forward to working with this fine group during the year,” Jameson said.
Frank Fulmer, senior account manager for CardConnect, will serve as the 2020 ambassador chair, a role he also filled in 2013.
“My goal this year as the 2020 Ambassador chair is to preserve the outstanding reputation and impact of the program. The Aiken Chamber of Commerce is a 5 star accredited chamber, and I know we have a 5 star Ambassador Team,” said Fulmer. “Planning, inspiration and guidance depends on working together as a team. With the veterans and newcomers we have this year and the committees we have formed, this is stacking up to be another great year for the team. It is not only an honor and a privilege, but it’s a blessing to serve as the 2020 Ambassador chair.
Fulmer has been a member of the Ambassador Team for 12 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 11th consecutive year is Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC. Vergil Norrod, 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.”
