Commerce Lexington Announces Members of 2026 Ambassador Committee

​Commerce Lexington is proud to announce the members of its 2026 Ambassador Committee, a selected group of volunteers who serve as official representatives and advocates of the Chamber. They are an extension of the Commerce Lexington staff, ensuring that member businesses get the most out of their membership.  Ambassadors help educate members on benefits, programs, and events, as well as represent Commerce Lexington at ribbon cuttings, grand openings, networking functions, and open houses.

Bob Quick, president and CEO of Commerce Lexington, said, “Our Ambassador Committee is vital to our organization and the community. These volunteers are our eyes and ears, relaying important information and concerns about their business and the economy. With the support of Independence Bank, the presenting partner of the 2026 Ambassador Program, this initiative will continue to cultivate engaged leaders who strengthen relationships, enhance member experience, and promote the mission of Commerce Lexington.”

“Independence Bank is proud to support a program that connects people, builds leadership, and helps move our business community forward,” said Stacy Berge, Lexington Market President of Independence Bank. “Serving as the presenting partner of the 2026 Ambassador Program reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in the communities we serve.”

Commerce Lexington is also pleased to recognize Dan Noel, who will serve as Chair of the 2026 Ambassador Committee.  Dan is the owner and operator of Men In Kilts Lexington, an exterior cleaning franchise that does window and gutter cleaning, as well as house and pressure washing. This will be his second year serving as Chair of the committee.
