Board members are volunteer investors in the Chamber and donate their time heading and attending committee meetings, assisting event execution and representing the Chamber out of the office. Representatives are responsible for attending full board meetings once per month for the length of their term.

The Ambassador Committee

The mission of the ambassadors is to increase and retain members in the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce and to improve the quality of membership benefits. Each ambassador donates their time building relationships with new and ongoing members by introducing people at networking events, supporting new businesses at ribbon cuttings, and promoting local stores or locations at their monthly meetings. Each ambassador term is one year, and there is no limit on the amount of terms an ambassador can serve. The ambassador team meets on the second Wednesay of every month at 4 p.m.
