Ambassador Committee Meeting

The Ambassador Committee is made up of Chamber-Member volunteers who are liaisons of our Chamber. Ambassadors attend functions and events and provide a professional and hospitable atmosphere for everyone. This Committee offers each Ambassador a gateway into learning more about the business community and places the Ambassadors in the limelight of the Chamber as they are often the first people to engage a business.

Our Land Acknowledgment:
As we gather, we respectfully acknowledge that our event is taking place on occupied Coast Salish land and that Seattle Southside Chamber is on the homelands of the Duwamish people. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people. 

Why do we recognize the land? 
To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.
