Getting Involved
Ambassadors
Becoming a Chamber Ambassador offers members an opportunity to actively participate at Chamber functions and on Chamber committees. Our Ambassadors are volunteers who act as public relations representatives on behalf of the Chamber at ribbon cuttings, sundowners, business expos and special events. They assist new members by introducing them to current members at Chamber-sponsored events. Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the Solana Beach community, but their main function is to help promote the Chamber of Commerce, support its members and have fun!
Volunteers
As a Chamber volunteer, you will assist the Chamber Staff and Ambassadors at ribbon cuttings, sundowners and special events. There are opportunities to help out in the Chamber office or the Visitor Information Center. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for a committee or event that complies with their schedule. Your input, ideas and participation are welcome at the Chamber!
To find out more about our Ambassador or Volunteer programs, call the Chamber office, 858.755.4775.
