AMBASSADORS
Our Ambassadors are the pulse of the Chamber family. They serve as our business welcoming agents by greeting new members and guests at Chamber events, attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and introducing new members to other member businesses.
Meet your Renton Chamber Ambassadors below:
VOLUNTEER
We are always looking for dedicated community members to help support and volunteer at the Chamber and at our events. What makes a community work is people stepping up and supporting one another in the very elements that make communities work - volunteering. Please notify our office if you are interested in volunteering - we would love to have you join us.
COMMITTEE CHAIRS
We have several committees, that you or one of your staff can participate in every month, to include Business Development, Legislative, Education, Downtown Partnerships, Emerging Leaders, Ambassadors, or even serve on our Board of Directors. All of our committees have positions that one or more of your lead team members can serve. In absence of a member designated Chair, the Chamber Liaison shall serve in such capacity.
