PEMBROKE and ROCKLAND, MA – The South Shore Chamber of Commerce recently recognized member Marie Peeler, CEO of Peeler Associates, as the organization’s “Ambassador of the Year.” Peeler Associates is an executive coaching and leadership development firm working with individuals and organizations to increase their business effectiveness. She also serves as co-chair of the South Shore Chamber’s Ambassador Group.

South Shore Chamber Ambassadors are volunteers who reach out to new, recent, and existing members to make sure that they are satisfied with their chamber experience, that they are engaged as much as they can or want to be, and that they are maximizing their chamber membership. The Ambassadors are familiar with the region’s business climate, want to give back to their business community in a very meaningful way, and are active in other areas of the Chamber organization.

The Ambassador of the Year award is given to a member selected for outstanding service above and beyond expectations.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the South Shore Chamber with this distinction,” shared Peeler. “I believe the South Shore Chamber is integral to regional businesses looking to grow and thrive, and I find it incredibly rewarding to connect with other South Shore businesspeople and offer them resources that help them achieve their goals.”

Peter Forman, president and CEO of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce, spoke highly of the Ambassadors. “These are people who are not paid staff, but still work very hard to make our members more successful by building stronger relationships with each other.”
