Ambassadors

The mission of the Ambassador Committee is to educate, energize and empower all The Chamber investors with the knowledge and the resources needed to be effective and engaged The Chamber colleagues. The Ambassadors strive to ensure a best-in-class member experience so that all Chamber investors realize the value of their investment, promote collaboration for business growth and success and develop meaningful professional relationships. Ambassadors meet monthly and are an extension of The Chamber staff to engage, celebrate and promote investors. These individuals you will find at mixers, ribbon cuttings and volunteering at events

Tamerlane Elie

DRI Restoration

My name is Tamerlane Elie. I’m currently the Business Development Manager for Disaster Restoration Innovation, Inc and I’ve been in this role since October of 2023. DRI is a residential/commercial General Contractor specializing in restoration, that started right here in Tucson, AZ, in 2018. As the BDM, my primary responsibility is to build and maintain new client relationships. As a member and Ambassador of The Chamber, and other key organizations, I am able to achieve that!

I absolutely love the opportunity and the advocacy that The Chamber of Southern Arizona provides to our region. Being a previous small business owner myself, I understand the challenges and pitfalls that Southern Arizona business owners and managers face on a daily basis. So, as an Ambassador with the chamber, I really enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to assist our current and/or future members, in understanding all of the benefits the Chamber has to offer. Not only something as simple as navigating our website or our Events Calendar, but also in making introductions to solid business connections that can help them grow their network and their business! I love being an Ambassador for The Chamber of Southern Arizona!
