Sarah Crane, of the HOW Foundation, explains what the group<br />

does. “The Chamber of Commerce Ambassador program is<br />

a rare opportunity for individuals from diverse business<br />

and personal backgrounds to come together and support not only<br />

Chamber of Commerce operations, but also to support our local<br />

businesses. Each Ambassador has a unique insight and experience<br />

with the Delray Chamber and how it can help promote and grow<br />

businesses. Ambassadors love sharing their knowledge and business<br />

“wins” to help pay it forward and support others. They are a<br />

wonderful group, and I consider myself blessed to be among them.”<br />

“We can always count on our Ambassadors to be there for the<br />

Members or our Board when we need them,” said Noreen Payne, Incoming<br />

Chair and an Ambassador herself. “Ambassadors are there<br />

in a pinch to volunteer during the many events that the Chamber<br />

holds each month. They are the cheering squad for new member<br />

Grand Openings and assist with philanthropic initiatives like collecting<br />

school supplies for the Community or Project Holiday gifts<br />

for soldiers overseas.”<br />

Meet the Chamber Ambassadors and the local businesses they<br />

represent.<br />
