DULUTH, GA – The Gwinnett Chamber has announced its 2025–2026 Ambassador Cohort. Ambassadors are volunteers who serve as an extension of Chamber staff, supporting member engagement, event participation, and business outreach.
“The Ambassadors are an additional way to help us stay connected to the business community,” said Nick Masino, President and CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber and Partnership Gwinnett. “Their commitment to being peer leaders, serving as an extension of our staff, and engaging with fellow members reflects what’s possible when local chambers work in partnership with active, community-minded professionals. This group is a testament to the value of collaboration in championing business.”
