Hold on to your briefcase! 2011 is already set for a fast pace.


It’s a new year and the Fresno Chamber Ambassador committee is already off to a fast start. With our first meeting already held on January 5th we welcomed Shawna Speake with Valley Business Bank and Marina Haro with Eye-Q-Vision Center to a second term as Co-Chairs to the Ambassador committee. It was also announced with pride that Lynnette Schetselaar of American Tax Credits Group not only won the Ambassadors Mark Fletcher award for having attended the most functions but she will be honored at the Fresno Chamber of Commerce Annual Installation Dinner as our 2010 Ambassador of the year! This is a prestigious award is given to an Ambassador who has shown outstanding commitment to the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and the Business Community. This year will mark the fourth consecutive year that this award is given. The 2007 recipient was Kristin Valenzuela-Groth of KMJ Radio/Peak Broadcasting. In 2008 and 2009 the recipient was Hannah DeGroot of Realty Concepts and now in 2010 to Lynnette Schetselaar of American Tax Credits.

The first meeting of the year had a full room with not a seat left in the house. Reports were heard from our Social Committee, Membership Committee and Internet Marketing Committee. We also had five new guests in attendance. Yes the Ambassadors are off to a quick start and we say Hold on to your briefcase because 2011 is looking great!

The Fresno Chamber Ambassadors are an absolutely fantastic group of business professionals. Not only do we attend ribbon cuttings, grand openings, grounds breaking ceremonies, monthly mixers and, on occasion, press releases, but we foster a healthy business relationship within the group and the Chamber community at large. We use each other’s services, get help when needed and are a support to one another. If you are looking to get more out of your Chamber membership or simply looking to foster business relationships then this the group for you.
