Ambassadors Committee
A vitally important part of the membership process,
Ambassadors dedicate an hour a month to deliver membership
packets and represent the organization at ribbon cutting
ceremonies and local community events. There are no monthly
meetings, but requests for your services will typically be a
monthly business visitation.

Economic Development
Economic Development means different things to every company.
As a Chamber, Economic Development efforts focus on advocating
for our member businesses as they navigate an expansion or
need to relocate within Hudson. When it is prudent, the
Chamber will also take a stance in support of or against a
development that will affect city residents and businesses
alike. The Economic Development Chair serves as the liaison to
the City of Hudson’s Economic Development Growth Board.
Meetings are scheduled on an as-needed basis. You may be asked
to attend one of two monthly evening meetings of the Economic
Development Growth Board.

Investor Benefits
Let’s face it. Businesses join Chambers to get a return on
their investment. However, every business joins for a
different reason. Some join exclusively for health care
coverage while others join for networking opportunities.
Whatever the reason, increasing the amount of benefits and
bottom-line value to our members is paramount. Bring your
ideas to the table. You can expect at most one monthly meeting
as a participant on this committee.

Marketing/Branding
Your Marketing/Branding Committee needs talented volunteers to
help execute the Chamber’s marketing message and strategies.
If you possess expertise in advertising, public relations,
graphic design or photography and would like to volunteer your
services to help promote Hudson throughout the region, it’s
time to commit your time and energy. This committee meets once
a month.
