More in this Section...

The Richmond Hill Business Ambassador Program recruits ambassadors to support the City of Richmond Hill, its brand, and business-related activities. Business ambassadors are an extension of the mission and values of our brand.

We truly value our ambassadors who act as representatives and promoters of Richmond Hill and its incredibly diverse and supportive business climate.

Purpose

  • To support business attraction for the City of Richmond Hill
  • To promote Richmond Hill as a place in which to invest and live, share success stories and personal experiences, and to promote specific programs and incentives that are attractive to their industry networks

Value

  • In a world of too much information, a message delivered by a trusted source is most effective. A recent survey* demonstrated that "dialogue with industry peers," was the top response (at 61%) to the question "What sources of information influence your perception of a city's business climate?" Respondents were top executives responsible for site selections five times since 1996.
