The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its 2011-2012 Ambassadors. The Ambassadors focus is on membership retention efforts for the Chamber. Ambassadors serve as the public relations arm for the Chamber by calling on existing members to update them on current activities, as well as asking about the member’s business and how the Chamber can better serve them. Every year each Chamber member should receive a phone call from an Ambassador.

 
There are several purposes to this call:
  • verify contact information
  • answer any questions a member may have about Chamber programs or benefits
  • ask for feedback and suggestions on events and seminars
  • most importantly, the Ambassador will want to know what concerns or challenges the member faces as a New Orleans business.
If you are a Chamber member business, please expect a phone call from one of our Ambassadors sometime throughout the year.

 

Ambassadors include: Jennifer Keating Magee of Keating Magee Advertising & Public Relations, Shelley Battle of T-Mobile, USA, Diane Dinkins of Deane Retirement Strategies, Inc. A Registered Investment Advisor, Josline Frank of World Properties International, Russell Frank Realty Group, LLC, Marc Leunissen of Cox Louisiana, Ron Marlow of Ultimate Technical Solutions, Lynn McLean of Small Business Resources Group, LLC, Kathleen Oberly of Delta Administrative Services, LLC, Eva Reaux of Clear Channel Radio Broadcasting, Howard Rodgers of Morgan Keegan & Company, Ernesto Sigmon of Harrah’s New Orleans Casino & Hotel, Ronnie Slone of The Slone Group, Dorothy Tarver of Montgomery, Barnett, Brown, Read, Hammond & Mintz, L.L.P., Jessica Van Deventer of Holiday Inn Downtown Superdome, Angie Villanueva of Latter & Blum Inc. The Chamber is very excited to have these dynamic individuals represent the organization.
