The Member Appreciation Team, ‘MAT’, is a sub-group of the Ambassadors Corps, comprised of volunteers committed to strengthening relationships between the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce and its members. The main purpose of MAT is to increase participation in Chamber programs and help members to take full advantage of Chamber services, helping to maximize membership through personal, face-to-face visits. MAT members will be calling several Chamber members over the next few weeks in an ongoing effort to set up a brief 10 – 15 minute appointment. Please be sure to take the opportunity to meet with them.
This will be a year long effort stretching into late 2010, to make contact with our members. Some of the team members are as follows:
• Team Leader: Chad Whipkey, Michigan International Speedway
• Team Leader: Julia Sheill, Fifth Third Bank
• Team Leader: Kendra Kerr, The Entrepreneurs Source
