Ambassadors play a vital role in the Chamber, serving as our public relations and sales team. They attend ribbon cuttings, support Chamber events, welcome new businesses and check in with current members. Their dedication directly impacts the success of our Chamber and business community.

This year, we are proud to recognize Elizabeth Garland with United Way of Southeast Louisiana as our 2024 Ambassador of the Year! Elizabeth has earned the Ambassador of the Month designation multiple times and exemplifies what it means to be a true servant leader. She is compassionate, motivated and always leads by example. Whether she’s greeting guests, handing out materials or facilitating ribbon cuttings, Elizabeth consistently goes the extra mile to support our Chamber and its members.

Her dedication reflects the very heart of the Ambassador Committee—building connections, strengthening relationships, and ensuring every business feels welcome and supported. Her enthusiasm and commitment inspire others to get involved and make a difference. The Chamber thrives because of members like Elizabeth, who give their time and energy to serve the business community.
