Advocating for The Collaborative

Ambassador Program

Greater Myrtle Beach Collaborative and Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce’s ambassadors are a prestigious group providing membership mentoring to new and existing members and assisting The Collaborative staff in ensuring that stakeholders are receiving their return on membership.

Ambassadors enjoy the rewards of making new contacts, strengthening relationships and accessing a wealth of information and resources.

To learn how you can join this elite group, contact Shannon Furtick, vice president of membership and engagement, at 843-916-7240 or email Shannon.Furtick@VisitMyrtleBeach.com.
