MEET THE DEI TASK FORCE

Mission Statement: To showcase and educate about services and goods available to all seniors in the Allen Fairview area in hopes of making their lives easier to navigate. Our group represents trustworthy resources for our senior citizens.

Allen & Fairview, Texas sits right outside the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and both are multi-generational communities with an ever-increasing senior population. This increase necessitates and welcomes active living communities, retiree apartment complexes, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. In order to provide information and support to this demographic, the Senior Services Coalition is made up of member businesses that offer support services, senior discounts, transportation and living accommodations. The purpose is to showcase and educate services and goods available to all seniors and their families within our communities in hopes of making their lives easier to navigate and find trustworthy resources when needed.

What is an Ambassador, and what do they do?

Ambassadors are the directors of first impressions for the Allen Fairview Chamber, playing very important roles in serving as representatives in the community and as mentors to new Chamber members during their first year. In addition, Ambassadors work with the membership committee to encourage growth of the Chamber, member retention and participation at Chamber events.

MEET THE AMBASSADORS

When do they meet?

Ambassadors meet at 12 Noon on the 4th Monday of each month at Allen City Hall, 305 Century Parkway, Allen 75013. Chamber members and prospective Ambassadors are welcome to attend. Please contact the Chamber staff for details on the next location.
