The CBICC Ambassador Program enhances the Chamber’s impact in the Centre County community through recruitment of new members, retention of current members, and support of CBICC programs and events. As such, Ambassadors are an essential piece of the Chamber team and are directly involved in shaping the Chamber’s future growth and success.
