Looking for Ambassadors-Do You Have the Right Stuff?
The McPherson Chamber of Commerce is looking for enthusiastic, high energy members who enjoy meeting new people and having fun to fill the position of the Ambassadors, which is part of the Chamber’s business outreach efforts and the public relations arm of the Chamber.
We are seeking individuals who would be interested in serving as Chamber Ambassadors.
