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 />
