Ambassadors - Portage County, WI

Volunteers are the lifeblood of any non-profit organization. For the Portage County Business Council (PCBC), the most active and enthusiastic volunteers are the Ambassadors Club, which currently consists of 25 individuals from around our community. Last year alone, the entire Club gave back over 1,600 hours of volunteer time just for the PCBC and its members!

Members of the Ambassadors Club show their support by attending business events such as ribbon cuttings, grand openings, ground breaking ceremonies, and Business After Hours, tours with new and existing businesses, monthly strategy meetings, and various other volunteer activities. Chances are if you are engaged in the business community, you have seen them.

To learn more about joining the Ambassadors Club of the PCBC or bringing them to your business for a function, please contact Karen Myers, Director of Programs & Events at 715-344-1940 or KarenM@portagecountybiz.com. Your PCBC membership must be in good standing with the Portage County Business Council to be eligible.

How long have you been an Ambassador?
3 years – currently serving as Vice Chairperson.

What do you enjoy about
being an Ambassador?
I enjoy celebrating new and existing businesses that have chosen to help build a stronger Portage County. The opportunity to visit, learn about and patronize these businesses are the best parts of being an Ambassador!

Why did you choose to become an Ambassador?
I had just started my position with Paper City Savings and was searching for an opportunity to make business contacts. I have gained so much more than just a contact…the growing business relationships and friendships are what keep me engaged.

What is your most memorable moment from a ribbon cutting or PCBC Event?
The most memorable moment for me was from the 2019 Ambassador 80’s Murder Mystery Christmas Party, it was totally tubular! I loved seeing each of us embrace our assigned roles, dressing up (some more than others…right Karen, or should I say Jessica Rabbit!) and just having fun and letting our hair down.
What is one interesting fact about you that most people don’t know?
In 2019 I participated in the Citizens Academy provided by local law enforcement and fire department. As part of the experience, I drove a squad car on the EVOC course, shot some really big guns and even volunteered to be tased! I was so impressed by this program. We are fortunate our community offers such exciting opportunities to its citizens.

What is your favorite activity to do in Portage County?
This is a tough one for me but one of my favorite events is the Cultural Festival. I look forward to this every year; seeing all the different countries represented, experiencing their food, shopping their handcrafted treasures and the variety of entertainment keeps all ages hooked on this event.
