Youth Leadership Cullman County is a project created by the 1999 Leadership Class.
The program—which has impacted the lives of high school juniors in the area for more than 20 years—includes a nine-month series of seminars and programs designed to educate selected youth participants from Cullman area high schools on community issues such as education, healthcare, crime, government, economic development, and quality of life. Applicants are interviewed by a panel of judges each spring.

Chamber Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the Chamber, but their main function is to help promote the Chamber, welcome new Members to the Chamber, and make Chamber events successful and fun for everyone. They are a professional group of community volunteers who dedicate their time to help represent the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce!
The Ambassadors serve as the backbone of the Chamber’s volunteer force. All Ambassadors must be a Member themselves or an employee/representative of a Member. Ambassadors must be Members in good standing and must have the full support of their employer to allow the flexibility required to effectively carry out their responsibilities.
The Ambassadors represent both the Chamber and their Member business/organization. As such, Ambassadors are responsible to uphold the Chamber’s code of conduct and may be removed in the event of a breach/failure to meet those expectations.
Ambassadors build relationships within the community, expand visibility for their business/organization, grow their knowledge of the business community, receive exclusive opportunities and priority invitations to community activities and events, and gain access to leadership and volunteer opportunities.
Please email Katie Walker at kwalker@cullmanchamber.org if you have any questions about this program.
