Ambassadors are a dynamic group of Greater Irvine Chamber member volunteers who actively promote and represent the Greater Irvine Chamber in the business community. Ambassadors welcome new Chamber members with a member plaque and familiarize them with various aspects of the organization, and welcome guests at Chamber events.
Ambassadors are some of the most engaged Chamber members. Ambassadors meet quarterly and are eligible for monthly and annual recognition based on a points system.
The Ambassador Committee provides leadership opportunities for its members. The group is led by the Committee Chair, in coordination with Greater Irvine Chamber staff. The Vice Chair conducts Ambassador in Training orientations, and two Team Leads serve to mentor teams and keep track of earned points.
The 2023-2024 Ambassador leadership is:
