Ambassador Testimonial
"Being an Ambassador for the Obion County Chamber has been a great testament in my life and career. I have been able to establish lifelong friendships, as well as establish some great benefits for the company I work for. I have been able to network with some of best leaders of our community, which has allowed me to see how they are addressing issues within their businesses and some processes they are using to grow and make their businesses more successful. From being at just one meeting, I happened to speak with someone who told me about a program that I was able to implement at the company I work for. So far, in less than one year, this program has saved the company over $30,000.00! Last but not least, you get to advertise your business while at the meetings and the Chamber helps to promote your business by utilizing their website to reach over 300 members who read the Chamber emails and can see your advertisements and talking points about your company. Overall it is a great experience with great people, all while getting to help mold the community you work and raise your family in." -Dustin McBride, Cox Oil
