Become a Wilmington Chamber Ambassador

Chamber Ambassadors are the welcoming face of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce and passionate advocates for our local business community. They play a vital role in connecting members, celebrating new businesses, and fostering meaningful relationships that strengthen our region’s economic ecosystem.

What Ambassadors Do

Chamber Ambassadors are at the heart of our member experience. They:

• Welcome new members – Make follow-up calls, offer guidance, and ensure new members feel supported and engaged.

• Support events – Greet attendees, foster connections, and create a welcoming environment at Chamber gatherings.

• Celebrate local growth – Assist with ribbon-cuttings, appear in photos, share updates on social media, and highlight member milestones.

• Champion the business community – Share insights, make introductions, and help members navigate Chamber benefits and opportunities.
