Rachel Trout was named the Henderson Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Ambassador of the Year at the organization’s Annual Meeting Monday evening at Ellis Park.
Chamber ambassadors are members of the chamber who have volunteered to serve as liaisons between the chamber, its members and the community.
Ambassadors attend chamber and member events, assist with membership retention and recruitment and advocate for the chamber and its mission through a variety of opportunities and incentives.
In turn, ambassadors have the opportunity to develop new contacts on a professional level, building a successful network for themselves and their business.
Trout is outreach and development coordinator for Matthew 25 AIDS Services.
