Our Chamber Ambassadors officially wrapped up their 2025-2026 year this morning! We truly love having these individuals as part of our Chamber family. Throughout the year, they help represent the Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce by supporting our events, welcoming new members, promoting our mission, and giving back to the community.
Our Ambassadors help strengthen our organization in countless ways, and we are so grateful for their time, commitment, and dedication. This year, we recognized each Ambassador with a special award reflecting their unique contributions to our team. Be sure to read below to see the awards each Ambassador received!
Thank you all for another incredible year! 💙
