The Chamber’s Ambassador Program
Strengthening Connections. Building Community. Supporting Member Success.
The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber’s Ambassador Program is a volunteer leadership opportunity for members who are passionate about helping others feel welcomed and connected. Ambassadors play a key role in strengthening engagement, supporting retention, and expanding our reach across Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ and allied business community.
Whether greeting new members, offering guidance at events, or serving as a friendly point of contact, our Ambassadors represent the heart of our community.
