​Want to make a difference? Become a Chamber Ambassador!

The Oxnard Chamber Ambassador’s committee is an important resource for chamber members. With a
“customer-facing” mission, the Ambassadors are the field team that liaise with members and help them
better engage with chamber resources, events and other chamber members. Our team conducts
welcome introductions with new members, and check-in’s with existing members. Because of our
ongoing communications, the team has a strong pulse on the Oxnard business community and is a
valuable source of referrals.

Due to the pandemic, businesses all over Oxnard are struggling. We need Ambassadors more than ever
to reach out and support our members at this time. We are inviting chamber members who want to
engage more in the Oxnard business community, and network with our team, to visit one of our
meetings and assess whether there is interest in joining as an Ambassador. We’re a fun group, and
meet on the first Wednesday of every month at noon.

As Ambassadors, we are also interested in learning more about local businesses so we can engage and
refer them. If you would like to introduce your business to our team, we would be happy to set up a 10-
minute slot for you. Just reach out to Doug Riffenburgh, Ambassador Committee Chair at 818-390-3009.

​We look forward to talking with you!
