Chamber Programs

COLLABORATION. LEADERSHIP. ADVOCACY.

From simply supporting local businesses with your every day shopping, to becoming a Chamber Ambassador, there’s a way for everyone to be part of the efforts to #LoveLocal in Auburn!

Ambassador Program

The Chamber Ambassadors represent the Public Relations arm of the Chamber of Commerce in the Auburn Area and serve as an official link between the Chamber and its members. Chamber Ambassadors are volunteers from the community and membership that help with membership campaigns and act as liaisons related to networking/social events.

Chamber Bucks

A check-like currency issued by the chamber supports the concept of “Buy Local” and is popular among businesses as employee or customer gifts. The BUCK$ are treated just like cash at local member merchants.

Future Entrepreneurs

Our Chamber’s Lemonade Stand Camp is designed for 8-12 year olds to empower them with entrepreneurial skills through the experience of running their own lemonade stand. In partnership with Nebraska Extension, kids learn about business by:

  • Developing their product (lemonade)
  • Selecting a desirable location
  • Creating an advertising and marketing plan
  • Setting a budget and profit goals
  • Growing customer service skills and counting change
  • This hands-on program provides a fun and educational opportunity for young entrepreneurs to gain valuable business insights and skills.

Keep the cheer here

Keep the Cheer Here has been embraced by the community with its pop-up parties, business highlights and holiday shopping fun. For every $20 a shopper spends in a participating store, they can be entered in a drawing to win Auburn Chamber Bucks.

Love Local

At the heart of our Chamber’s mission is the belief that supporting all things local builds value and strength into our community. The Love Local program encourages residents to prioritize shopping and spending their dollars locally. By choosing local merchants and services first, we create a thriving, interconnected community that benefits everyone. Join us in loving local and making a positive impact on our community.
