Committees

Ambassadors
The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors make weekly visits (Thursdays at 10 a.m.) to local businesses. This group welcomes new businesses, owners, employees, and organizes ribbon cutting ceremonies. All Chamber members are welcome to join the “Red Jackets.”

AtlanticFest, Nine & Wine, Coca-Cola Days
These three committees plan and run their events. The groups will start meeting in January, and they will wrap-up by mid-October. Volunteers are always welcome for every event!

SPEC
Our Special Promotions and Events Committee (SPEC) plans the great community events that are sponsored through the Community Promotion Package. The Community Promotion Package is a group of 80 area businesses that financially support six major events: Atlantic…A Great Place to Put Down Roots, Customer Appreciation Days, Crazy Daze, Harvest Fest, Grand Lighting, and all of the events during Christmas in Atlantic. This group meets at 8 a.m. every other Tuesday at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce.

Image Builders
Building Atlantic’s image–both at home and afar–is the main concern of our Image Builders committee. This group tackles the hot issues in town, and they also award Community Improvement Awards to businesses and individuals who have improved Atlantic by their work. Want to nominate someone for a Community Improvement Award? Simply call or email us today with the name of the business or individual.

Young Professionals of Atlantic
This group will serve as a social group to help promote Atlantic as a great place for young professionals to start their careers.
