Ambassadors Committee meets the Friday following the Board of Director's meeting at 12:00 pm. The Ambassador Committee is the welcome arm of the Chamber and a group of volunteers who works to provide greater visibility for new members while supporting, encouraging, and spreading goodwill among existing members.

The purpose is to connect and empower young professionals and bridge the gap between individuals building their career and established business. Some events are smaller and are perfect for those who prefer meeting in a closer setting. Others are meant to draw a larger audience. You choose. Whatever your preference, you will be welcomed from your very first event and comfortable with your peers in no time. The event list includes: 1.) Monthly meetings 2.) Annual Mixer 3.) Interesting topics and speakers 4.) Governmental events Not a member of the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce yet? Contact our Member Engagement Manager at info@bastropchamber.com or call 512-303-0558.
