To promote and communicate the value of Chamber membership and enhance goodwill of the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce in the community. Assist in the success and visibility of the DBCOC through regular involvement in Chamber mixers and special events.

Ambassadors engage in and attend numerous Chamber activities such as Monthly Chamber Mixers, Ribbon Cuttings, Grand Openings, Special Chamber Events, Fundraising Events. Ambassadors are hosts at Chamber mixers and events and may help by working at the registration check-in table, assisting with the raffle table and generally making sure our new members feel welcome. The Ambassadors greet and introduce first-time visitors and new members to other chamber members to connect them to the organization and help them to remain active and involved. They answer questions about membership; orienting each new member about the various committees and ways in which they can become connected and promote their business. Other volunteer opportunities are available through the Chamber of Commerce New Neighbors program. Please see the link on the home page under About Us.
