Ambassador Council
Chamber Ambassadors serve as liaisons between Chamber staff and its members, by promoting membership and encouraging participation. The Ambassadors are a great group of friendly and outgoing volunteers that call on member businesses for input on Chamber membership and activities. Ambassadors work as greeters at Chamber events such as the Early Bird Breakfast and the BASH. They also attend ribbon cuttings, open houses and plan the annual Golf Outing and the Jingle Bell Parade. Ambassadors are a tremendous asset to the Chamber by helping in all aspects of executing the events that the chamber puts on for members. Membership on the Chamber Ambassador Council is by invitation only and the number is limited to 25.
If you are interested in becoming a Chamber Ambassador, please reach out to Heather Solomon, Director of Membership Sales at hsolomon@grandhavenchamber.org.

Dave Zappa
President & Owner, Bin There Dump That Dumpsters
I’ve been a proud member of the Chamber for the past six years and have had the honor of serving as an Ambassador for the last year. In this role, I enjoy welcoming and connecting with local businesses while supporting the Chamber’s mission of strengthening our community.
As Owner and President of Bin There Dump That, we specialize in residential-friendly dumpster rentals. Our clean, green, well-maintained bins feature two rear walk-in doors for easy access, and our unique driveway protection system ensures that the dumpster never touches a homeowner’s property eliminating any chance of damage. With reliable, on-time service, we make it easy for homeowners, contractors, and businesses to take on cleanups, renovations, and projects without the hassle.
Being an Ambassador has given me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, support new members, and contribute to the growth of our local business community.
Outside of work, I enjoy riding motorcycles, spending time on the water, and staying active in the community I’m proud to call home.

Dan Heimler
Co-Founder & CEO, Watchdog Cyber
I’ve been a Chamber Ambassador for just three months, but my connection with the Grand Haven Chamber goes back to when I first moved to West Michigan almost four years ago. From the start, the Chamber has been instrumental in helping me build relationships and become part of this community, and now I’m honored to serve as an Ambassador. I enjoy welcoming and connecting people because I know firsthand how valuable those connections can be.
As Co-Founder and CEO of Watchdog Cyber, I help business leaders protect what they’ve worked so hard to build. Cybersecurity is often seen as an IT issue, but I view it as a business issue one that can affect contracts, insurance, finances, and reputation. My role is about making cybersecurity understandable, manageable, and aligned with real business goals. From training and penetration testing to compliance and monitoring, we take a proactive, business-first approach so that our clients can have peace of mind knowing their future is secure.
Outside of work, I’m an avid golfer. This year, I challenged myself to walk the course instead of riding and it not only improved my game, but I feel a lot better, too.
Serving as an Ambassador is a privilege, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support the Chamber and the local business community that has supported me.
