Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Committee

The Austin LGBT Chamber Ambassador Committee is a dynamic group of member volunteers who serve as enthusiastic advocates for the Chamber.

 

The ambassadors help welcome new members, strengthen member engagement, and represent the Chamber at events throughout the year. Their efforts support member retention, foster community connections, and promote the Chamber’s mission across Greater Austin.

We’re a tiny but MIGHTY team at the Chamber, and we truly couldn’t do what we do without our incredible volunteers and ambassadors. They’re the welcoming faces at events, the first to cheer on new members, and the heart of our community-building work. - Colton Ashabranner, VP of Marketing & Events

Celebrate Your Business with a Rainbow Ribbon Cutting!

Let us officially welcome you to the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce with a Rainbow Ribbon Cutting!

If you’re a current member and haven’t had your ribbon cutting yet, we’d love to celebrate you. Email us at membership@austinlgbtchamber.com with a few dates and times that work best for your business or organization.

Ribbon Cuttings aren’t just for new businesses — they’re a chance to thank our members for supporting the Chamber and to show the community that your space is safe, welcoming, and proud.
