Board & Ambassadors
The Claremont Chamber is fortunate to be guided and supported by a dedicated group of volunteer leaders who care deeply about our business community and the future of Claremont.
Our Board of Directors provides leadership, vision, and oversight to help advance the Chamber's mission and serve the needs of our members. Representing a variety of industries and perspectives, board members contribute their time and expertise to strengthen our local business community.
Our Ambassadors serve as welcoming advocates for the Chamber and its members. They help foster connections, support Chamber programs and events, and play an important role in creating a positive and engaging experience for businesses throughout our community.
Together, these volunteers help make the Chamber a stronger resource for Claremont and the people we serve.
