Ambassadors assist at Chamber events throughout the year. Part of being an Ambassador is also being involved in the community, fostering new relationships with area businesses and organizations, and to act as an informational resource for members of the chamber. Ambassadors have the ability to strengthen the business community and reach out to the greater Ticonderoga Area through TACC. Ambassadors welcome new TACC members and Ticonderoga Area community members as well as visitors as a new initiative of being a Chamber Ambassador. TACC also hopes that Ambassadors will eventually become TACC Board Members. Ambassadors must represent a TACC Member.
