Ambassador Council 2016

Karen is a licensed agent with USHealthAdvisors. She enjoys helping her clients find affordable health care benefits with lower premiums, less out of pocket and a 15 month rate lock.

"I strongly believe in being an active member of the Chamber, not just sitting on the side. I enjoy the friendships that are made and promoting the Greensboro area. I have learned many new things about local businesses and have benefited from the networking opportunities."

"I volunteer for the Chamber of Commerce for the enjoyment of promoting people, their companies and the products and services they provide. The Chamber is a powerful resource to grow a company and if I can match people and the resources available, I am rewarded with a sense of accomplishment."

''Being an Ambassador is an extension on what I enjoy doing, and that is working with people for a common goal, while also helping people reach their own, unique goals. Greensboro is a thriving and growing community and it is exciting to be a part of its success.''

"My grandfather was a big advocate of being involved in your local community. My oldest brother serves as head of Economic Development for Haywood County in NC. Volunteering for the Chamber helps me to be involved and give something back to Greensboro; affording us the opportunity to assist local business owners? with financial options for them and their employees."

"The Chamber has introduced me to the city of Greensboro. When I moved here in 2010 my primary focus was work and our work is nationally focused. I saw the Chamber as a way to first learn more about my local community while meeting my neighbors and helping to build up the place I call home. The importance of community was instilled in me at a young age so giving back is just a way of life."

"As a Chamber Ambassador since 2002, I feel very fortunate and proud to be a part of this organization. The Chamber has really helped our business grow and become more successful over the years by providing great educational programs and networking events. But the best part of being an ambassador, it allows me the opportunity to give a little back and help new members become successful and grow their businesses."

"I enjoy getting small business owners involved in the Chamber. Educating them on all the services the Chamber as a unit of the Greensboro Partnership provides for it's members. I, personally, have made many new friends and met new business associates. I have done business with individual members and chamber businesses. Most importantly, I want Greensboro to continue to become a vibrant community for business and improve the quality of life for it's residents. The Greensboro Chamber and Greensboro Partnership serve the community with these goals. It's nice to be a small part of that."

"Volunteering for the Chamber has allowed me the opportunity to truly connect with the Greensboro community on both a personal and professional level. The relationships built through networking have been invaluable to building sales and establishing our business in the Greensboro market."

I have over 20 years of Branding & Marketing background and the last 15 have been in Internet Marketing. You know how businesses struggle to find the most profitable clients today? We use the power of search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing to find the most profitable Customers. This is not always an easy task. Many of my Clients are in very competitive Businesses that require many hours of Custom and Creative Marketing Strategies to make this happen.We are able to successfully bring a steady flow of New Clients without any long term contracts. Some of our local success stories are Pfaffs Auto Glass - Winston Salem, NC, Chrismon Heating & Cooling - Browns Summit, NC, Aycock Frame and Body Shop - Greensboro, NC, Carolina Dental Arts - Raleigh, NC, Continental Motors - Greensboro, NC, If you know a buisness that wants to get to the next level, please contact me!

"The Chamber is a high quality organization, which always has the best interests of my business and that of other owners in mind. As an Ambassador, I have first-hand knowledge of new and growing businesses in town. This helps me to be better informed for my real estate clients.  I can also can also recommend those businesses to help them grow. Rubbing elbows with other business owners has helped me to be a better and more skilled small business owner. Thank you Chamber!"
