Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 4, 2009 -- The Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (www.GAHCC.org) is excited to have launched what may be the first ever Social Media Ambassador Program established anywhere in the USA. The program will be launched with eight Social Media Ambassadors who will help promote GAHCC community initiatives via popular social media outlets.

In the past year, Social Media has been adopted at astronomical rates with new terms such as tweets, followers, LinkedIn, Facebook, and fans now commonly discussed around the family dinner table. GAHCC recognizes the fact that, from major corporations like Wal-Mart to the average Austin professional, keeping in touch with long lost friends is now using Social Media. The new Social Media Ambassador Program intends to create plenty of buzz across the web on behalf of GAHCC's worthy efforts in the local community.

So who are these GAHCC Social Media Ambassadors? They are all professionals who actively use Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter daily and have chosen to support the chamber as volunteers to "spread the word" about all the various activities that the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is involved with to educate, enhance, and engage the local community.

Program Chairs are Abel C. Ruiz and Elizabeth Quintanilla. Other Social Media Ambassadors for the GAHCC are Eduardo Contreras, Scott Ingram, Mario Perez, Maura Thomas, Marion Sanchez, and Armando Rayo.

Collectively, the group represents various industries and interest groups including community involvement, entrepreneurship, technology, real estate, and more.

And now a brief description on each ambassador (in 140 characters or less and their twitter accounts included):
