I've been a Chamber Ambassador since January 2019 and I'm so glad I made the decision to become a part of such a dedicated group. I am the Sales Manager at the Red Lion Inn & Suites at Cross Creek Mall. You may have never heard of Red Lion Hotels before they came to Fayetteville several years ago, so let me tell you a little about them. The Red Lion Hotel brand was established in 1959 in Portland, Oregon and through the years decided they wanted to expand east. They consist of both full service and limited service hotels. The Red Lion at Cross Creek Mall is a limited service hotel with 129 sleeping rooms. Along with our transient guests, we have become a popular hotel for the military, corporate and construction industry as well as group room blocks. Being located in the Cross Creek mall parking lot gives our guests many choices for shopping and places to eat for lunch and dinner. We take pride in our full hot breakfast that gives our guests the per- fect start to their day. Our professional hotel staff takes care of our guests' needs to ensure that they have a great stay. We are also proud to say that for the second year in a row, the Red Lion Inn & Suites at Cross Creek Mall is the host hotel for the Fayetteville Marksmen's out of town teams. You can contact me at tonie.mcknight@redlion. com or 910-487-1400 if you have any hotel accommodation needs. My Chamber Ambassador duties have given me the opportunity to get out and meet so many people in the community. Among the many events available through the Chamber, I enjoy attending the ribbon cuttings that support and welcome the new businesses open- ing in Fayetteville. The Ambassadors fill many positions that the Chamber staff cannot because it's impossible for them to be every- where at the same time. They depend on us to help in many ways. Any Chamber event you may be attending, you can be sure there are Ambassadors close by ready to help. If you have not yet joined the Greater Fayetteville Chamber and you want to know how to connect with the community in an effective way, I would encourage you to join the Fayetteville Chamber and find out what you've been missing! ABOUT THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM The Greater Fayetteville Chamber Ambassador program consists of enthusiastic Chamber volunteers who are the official "public relations" arm and welcoming committee of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber. Ambassadors ensure that our members' needs, questions, and concerns are heard and addressed by the Chamber. The Ambassador program is also designed to involve and educate new and existing members. If you are a member of the Chamber and want to be considered for the Ambassador program, contact us at (910) 433-6767 or email membership@faybiz.com.
