Estherville Ambassadors

The Estherville Ambassadors serve as the charitable arm of the Estherville Area Chamber of Commerce. They welcome new businesses to the community, new owners to existing businesses, new locations or new staff and educate them on the benefits of Chamber membership. They host the Annual Golf Outing in late June at the Estherville Golf Course, a 4-person best ball tournament with an afternoon shotgun start and networking lunch. The Ambassadors are also the hosts of the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Appreciation Banquet in September. ​The Ambassadors are the goodwill and charitable arm of the Chamber and they raise money to donate back to the community. Requests can be made at any time through the Chamber office.


If you are a new business or have new staff, please be sure to let the Chamber office know. We'd love to schedule an Ambassadors visit.

Estherville Bucks Program

The Estherville Bucks program has been in effect for a number of years, and is a great way to support the local economy. Estherville Bucks are an initiative of the Estherville Area Chamber of Commerce, and the point of the program is to encourage local shopping to strengthen the area’s economy and support business growth. The Estherville Bucks work just like cash and they can be purchased any time at the Chamber office for face value.
