ALPINE AMBASSADOR CLUB An important affiliative organization to the Chamber is the Alpine Ambassadors , seen above performing a ribbon cutting at the 100th birthday celebration of Sul Ross State University . In addition to welcoming new businesses to Alpine with ribbon cuttings , the Ambassadors are a vital link between the community and the Chamber , promoting the Chamber ’ s mission and recruiting new Chamber members .

Our Mission : To promote , develop , and unite the business community in and around the Alpine area to accomplish economic growth .

Some of the topics have been “ How to get your business on Google Maps ”, “ Emergency Preparedness ”, “ Tips to be a safer driver ”, and “ TDA Funding pportunities .” Bring your lunch or dine with us for a small fee .
