23-24 Committee Chair: Kevin De Rosa, Advance Champion Supply
It is my pleasure to serve as the Chair of the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Ambassador committee. The Ambassadors are Chamber members who volunteer to engage with the membership in a variety of ways. For new members the Ambassadors act as guides to help the members get the most of their Chamber investment. For current and veteran chamber members the Ambassadors keep them current on new happenings of the chamber. And for prospective members the Ambassadors provide the best testimony as to how the Chamber will benefit their business. The Ambassadors act in coordination with Chamber staff and offer their time and talent to help with registration and act as greeters at Chamber events. The Ambassadors also volunteer their time to celebrate new members and veteran member milestones at ribbon cutting celebrations. Ambassadors also volunteers and act as emcees at Chamber events and ribbon cuttings. The Ambassadors also are an extension of the Business Development Team and are always on the lookout for potential new members and that will add great value to the Chamber membership.

The Vision of the Women Empowered Committee is to Empower and Inspire businesswomen through leadership development and collaborative connections for business growth to embrace their unique strengths resulting in a powerful impact on our community.
Hosting events such as a Leadership Expo, Networking Socials, and Book Club, the committee takes significant steps in providing meaningful experiences structured to inspire us all. We use these events as tools to not only grow professionally, but also get to know one another better and connect on a deeper level. It is imperative that we give back to our community, and so by highlighting a local non-profit at each of our events; including donating proceeds from the Philanthropic Luncheon to help fund scholarships for female participants in the Gilbert Leadership Program. The Women Empowered Committee is an amazing opportunity to get to know each other better, make new connections, give back, and have a little fun along the way!
Women Empowered – WE honor our past. WE respect our present. WE embrace our future. Dallas Sloan, Colair Beauty Lounge and Med Spa
