Our Ambassadors are the heart and soul of the Billings Chamber, extending a warm welcome to new members and promoting our programs and events. They’re dedicated volunteers who serve our community and uphold the professional image of the Chamber. Sarah Brockel was born and raised in Montana and now lives in Huntley Project with her husband and two children. She has been a member of the Billings Chamber for most of her professional career, finding it beneficial for both the organizations she has worked for and her own growth. Sarah's favorite Chamber events are the Ag Banquet and the Ag Tour. Growing up in Montana's agriculture-rich environment, she didn't initially realize the significant impact the industry had on her daily life. Today, she is grateful to live in an area where agriculture is embraced alongside business and industry, supporting all Montanans. #itsinbillings #youbelonginbillings #ambassadors #memberspotlight
