The Greater Grays Harbor Ambassador Team is an integral aspect of this non-profit organization. Motivated individuals from across the county dedicate their time both during work and after hours to help orchestrate many of the workings within the organization. New business ribbon cutting ceremonies, Member of the Quarter awards, assistance with our many events, and checking in with local businesses are all ways the Ambassadors help to expand the reach and impact. Greater Grays Harbor Ambassadors are always present to encourage positivity and growth throughout the county.

I love the opportunity to celebrate, connect and engage with GGHI members, while building lifelong community relationships. It is so rewarding to be part of team that encourages and supports economic growth, opportunity and vitality of our members throughout the community I love, and hold dear.”
“Serving as a Greater Grays Harbor Ambassador I have had the opportunity to learn about our Grays Harbor business community. It is exciting to help new businesses celebrate with ribbon cuttings and existing businesses celebrate new beginnings. In addition to the events, it is very rewarding to meet with business owners throughout Grays Harbor in order to share valuable information about services available to GGHI members, many which are free, and will benefit their businesses. The friendships I have gained since becoming an Ambassador have been an added bonus. I am proud to serve our community in this capacity.”
