Ambassador Of The Year

Sue Ross

Franklin County Banking Center

A true representative of the Grove City Chamber of Commerce, and the Grove City community as a whole, Sue Ross’s dedication to the community and the Chamber Ambassador program is evident to all who meet her. The current Senior Business Banker of Franklin County Banking Center, Sue has been an active member and a familiar face to the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce for more than three decades.

As an ambassador, her specific role to the Chamber is to be an extension of the Chamber by visiting current members, listening to what’s happening in their business, and sharing Chamber opportunities they may not be aware of. These visits spread awareness of Chamber programming and foster unity among members and their various businesses.

“Every interaction with a local business is an opportunity to talk about our Chamber activities, benefits of membership and our Foundation scholarships,” Sue said of her ambassador duties. “Being an Ambassador is consistently talking to business owners about ways they can better their business for themselves, their employees and their families.”

And while ambassadors have ‘official’ visits they make to the members on their rosters, Sue is still an ambassador ‘off the clock’, or when not making her official stops.

“She makes it a point to be an Ambassador wherever she goes and to whoever she is talking to,” said Shawn Conrad, GCACC Executive Director. “Her passion for Grove City and for the Chamber are evident all day every day.”

At the heart of Sue’s love of her involvement with the Chamber and the ambassador program is her enjoyment in meeting new people. Shawn mentioned how quickly Sue meets new people and makes new friends, but Sue also sums it up for herself, too:

“I love meeting new people, forming business relationships and having those develop into friendships.”
