Diplomats

“The diplomat program became more than I ever thought it would be. I left a company to start my own business which also meant I had left my work family. At times it seemed I was alone in my new work place. Man did that change once I got involved with the South Baldwin Chamber. It wasn't 'I have to go to this ribbon cutting' or 'I have to attend this event to grow my brand'. It's 'I get to be involved in something much bigger than myself' – and that's serving – serving the way our local chambers serve our community. When we give we get so much back in return. This Chamber gives its heart. This Chamber has become family to me. All the way from meeting Travis for the first time, to being on a hug basis with every one of them when I see them. Its a great place to start with your business, and you might just be surprised by all that comes with this program. I will and am forever grateful for what this program has done for me business-wise and professionally. It's given me a genuine wholesome fulfillment by being involved in the SBCC Diplomat Program.”

“Joining the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce as a Diplomat was one of the best decisions I’ve made since living in Foley. Instant community and so many fun events! So grateful for all of the connections I’ve made through this organization!”

“Being part of the diplomat program was a great experience. It allowed me to support our local community while introducing me to new people. I'll always cherish the friendships I've gained thanks to the South Baldwin Chamber. I'm forever grateful for this opportunity.”

“I have enjoyed my time with the Chamber Diplomats and appreciate the relationships that it has cultivated over the past 3 years. For an introvert like myself, it was a chance to get out of my comfort zone and grow key networking skills to further my professional career. I definitely got more out of this experience than I thought going into it. Thank you for the opportunity.”

“I have learned so much to better myself in my career over the past three years and have built relationships with new friends from the Chamber that will last a lifetime.”

“I joined the Chamber Diplomats in order to serve, but also to make connections since I was new to the area. Serving as a volunteer at Chamber meetings and other events helped me meet many, many members and guests. Plus, I got to know the other Diplomats as businesspeople and as friends, as well as our great Chamber staff! You can't go wrong becoming a Diplomat with the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce.”

“Being a diplomat puts you right in the middle of everything, events, people, places, people, activities and did I mention PEOPLE.  You will quickly put together contacts and their faces as you serve in this program.  It was so much fun to be in those activities and what a strong bond I have with those other diplomats. Consider yourself in the right place at the right time when you’re a diplomat!”
