Today, the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce recognized Gerrell Aldridge of New Hire Solutions as the Chamber Ambassador of the Quarter. Aldridge received the acclaimed award after volunteering the most hours of any Ambassador this past quarter. Since becoming a Chamber Ambassador in January, Aldridge has attended and assisted with more than 50 events.

“We are very pleased to name Gerrell as our Ambassador of the Quarter,” said Wanda Stanley, Director of Communications and Chamber Ambassador Coordinator. “Gerrell is a true professional and sets the bar for what it means to be an Ambassador.”

The Ambassador Program serves as the public relations arm of the Chamber, aiding in welcoming new businesses to the area. Chamber Ambassadors, who can be recognized by their green business jackets that symbolize prosperity, are highly visible individuals who make good will calls and assist with ground breakings, ribbon cuttings and other member events throughout the year.

“For my company, New Hire Solutions, the Chamber’s Ambassador Program is beneficial in terms of the number of contacts and networking opportunities it provides me,” said Gerrell Aldridge, award recipient. “By being an Ambassador, I’m able to assist in numerous Chamber events, putting me in the front row meeting potential, new clients who may need my staffing or payroll assistance.”
