Chamber Ambassador Spotlight

MEET PAUL EVANSEN

Chamber Ambassadors represent the Greater Green Bay Chamber in the community and actively engage with members and nonmembers. These dedicated volunteers serve as trusted liaisons, answering questions about membership, promoting local businesses, attending Chamber events and celebrating milestones at ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings.

Every Chamber Ambassador brings a unique story and a personal commitment to making Green Bay a better place to live, work and do business. In this monthly blog series, we introduce the passionate individuals who give their time, energy and enthusiasm to serve our members.

Paul Evansen became a Chamber Ambassador in 2024. A commercial landscape sales consultant at Vande Hey Company, Inc., he hoped the opportunity would help him expand his personal and professional network in Greater Green Bay.

Paul describes his role as a liaison between local businesses and the community that supports them as “very rewarding.” He believes it’s important for business owners to know they are not alone: “Going into business at any size or level can be daunting. The Greater Green Bay Chamber works to help them know they are not on an island but have a team behind them, supporting them and cheering for them.”

Some of his favorite moments as a Chamber Ambassador come from conversations with business owners who are unaware of the resources available through the Greater Green Bay Chamber. He especially enjoys hearing, “I had no idea the Chamber offered that,” after sharing more information. Paul has also valued the time spent with his fellow Chamber Ambassadors: “Personally, [my favorite memory] was laughing while competing with my fellow Ambassadors on a golf simulator at our 2024 [Chamber Ambassador] Bash.”

What would Paul tell those interested in becoming a Chamber Ambassador? “Make the time to do it ‘right,’ and you will gain friends, insight and the personal satisfaction that comes with serving others in your community.”
