Ambassadors





I want to thank the Chamber for the opportunity to share our insights about growth marketing with the committee and its members. The Chamber actively sought opportunities for us to help promote our business to the community. The Science & Technology Committee is a great forum to share ideas and strategies for growing all of our respective companies here in Palm Beach County.

The recent networking event was wonderful. I was able to connect with a variety of local business owners and everyone was friendly and professional. I was delighted to discover that there is some good synergy for business opportunities between the ministry and some of these businesses. Special thanks to the Chamber for organizing such an excellent networking opportunity for a nonprofit business like ours!

The Chamber Tourism Task Force is a great opportunity to share with and learn from others in the tourism industry in Palm Beach County. We are all faced with similar challenges in this ever-evolving situation. It is great to have guidance from other area tourism industry peers, on the unforeseen pitfalls and ultimate successes they have experienced during this time.

It was a pleasure sharing the latest “State of the Tourism Industry” with the Chamber of The Palm Beaches Tourism Task Force. I commend the Chamber for establishing this forum aimed at discussing opportunities and seeking solutions that will improve our county’s appeal and marketability as a travel destination.”

Palm Beach Outlets is a proud member of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches Tourism Task Force. There is something for everyone in the Palm Beaches, from retail and restaurants to pristine beaches. Palm Beach Outlets is an unparalleled retail destination featuring over 100 stores and eateries, making it the perfect place to explore outdoor shopping in style.

Being able to speak to the Chamber’s Science & Technology committee was a fantastic opportunity. Not only did it allow me to connect to local business owners, but it gave me the opportunity to talk about my true area of expertise in a comfortable setting. Speaking about the things that fuel and drive us is the best way to connect to people and demonstrate value. For people with a true mission to promote thought and conversation, it’s so much better than trying to make a sales pitch.”
As the Chamber’s premier public relations team, Ambassadors play a key role in recruiting, engaging, and retaining members. They help foster connections, support new members, and contribute to the Chamber’s growth.
To join, members must apply and complete the Mentorship Program. Please note, the Ambassador Committee is limited to 30 members. Meets the 1st Friday of the month at noon. For more information on the Ambassador Committee, contact Rachel Duewer at rduewer@palmbeaches.org or (561) 833-3711 ext. 232.
