Welcome to the Queen Creek Chamber Ambassador's Page!
Chamber Ambassadors are the welcoming committee and the volunteer support team for our Chamber. The duties of these dedicated individuals include: recruiting new members, attending ribbon cuttings, luncheon meetings and mixers, greeting new members, and providing information as requested. Our Ambassador's are approachable and truly enjoy meeting newcomers to the community; and welcoming new members to the Queen Creek Chamber!
Current Ambassadors are:
Sandi Dial Sandi is the Branch Executive for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley – Queen Creek Branch. She started at the Queen Creek Branch in December 2007 as the Youth Development Director and became the Branch Executive in July 2008. While the Queen Creek Branch has been a member of the Chamber since 2006, Sandi became actively involved in July 2009. She has been a fixture at Chamber events since then, especially member mixers and ribbon cuttings. At the urging of a Chamber board member, she visited the organization meeting for the 2010 Ambassadors Committee where she found herself raising a hand to help with logistics for the inaugural Business Awards Dinner. Two months later, after the unforeseen resignation of the Ambassadors Committee Chair, Sandi stepped up to fill that role. She is excited to see what the Ambassadors Committee will accomplish, and she is dedicated to helping new Chamber members connect with existing members to see the full benefits of the networking opportunities afforded to local businesses through their Chamber membership. Sandi graduated from Arizona State University with an M.A. in Educational Psychology. She also completed her undergraduate education at Arizona State, after many changes in her major, where she is a graduate of the Barrett Honors College with a B.S. in Psychology.

My family moved to Queen Creek from Seal Beach, California in 2005- (so we moved from a beach with no seals to a town with no creek). My wife of 11 years and I have two children and we live in the Villages so we’ve really seen things change on a daily basis since becoming locals. When I started Advantage Appraisals, the first entity I contacted was the Queen Creek Chamber and through the chamber I’ve met many other business owners who have helped me build my business simply by networking. I’ve never had to open a phone book since I joined the chamber because I know that other members can either help me out or they know who can help me out. When the appraisal industry shifted drastically for home loans in 2009, I shifted focus to helping individuals in their non-lender situations- specifically, cash purchases, bankruptcy, divorce, and estate settlement. I look forwarded to meeting you and don’t be offended when I ask where you live- it’s just how appraisers think!

As a Queen Creek native, I have had the pleasure of watching a rural town develop into a booming community. Encapsulating both the country way of life and a strong entrepreneurial attitude, Queen Creek is the place to be to establish, grow, and maintain a business presence. I pride myself in being a small business connecting and developing specialist, so naturally the Queen Creek Chamber was an ideal place for me. Aside from working full time, developing My Brothers' Office LLC; Resource Centers for Small Business, I am a full time mother to 2 amazing children; Cadence, 2 years old and Colton, 1 year old. What a blessing my children are on my life. Also, I take the role of a full time wife and best friend to my wonderful husband Jason, going on 3 years!
Having been in Queen Creek since age 10, I have gone through the Queen Creek education system and graduated from our very own, Queen Creek High School. Woo Hoo! Go Bulldogs!! Shortly after graduation I went on to further my knowledge of the world at Gateway Community College in Phoenix. My education was cut short by my husband but, I wouldn't change a thing. I will go back to school one day but until then I will continue to open my heart and mind to the surrounding world and absorb any and every tid bit of knowledge I can. Connie Bunyard
I have lived in Queen Creek since 1996. I love the country atmosphere but also appreciate the addition of all the new businesses. My wonderful husband and I have 7 awesome children and love the opportunity to raise our children in the country on horse property. Participating with the Chamber since 2009 has been both educating and encouraging as we have excellent speakers and incredible members in which to mix with. I have been celebrating my business as an Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant for three years. As a beauty consultant I consider myself as an Ambassador of Hope. I'm able to bring beauty and joy into the lives of the women that I meet. Our unit hosts an annual Adopt-a-Grandparent program in which we look to the community to sponsor elderly folks in retirement homes and assisted living facilities. We bring Christmas gifts and cheer to them during the holidays. It is also a pleasure to have the opportunity to volunteer at nursing homes to treat the beautiful women there to complimentary facials. There's nothing quite like the look on their face when they are all made up! To see the joy that we can bring into their lives in such a short time is such a tremendous blessing!
