The Chamber Ambassador Rising Star Award was founded in 2003 to recognize a business or individual that is a Chamber Member in good standing and has been in business more than 24 months, but less than 48 months. In making a selection, the Ambassadors took into consideration the businesses’ contribution to both the community and to the Chamber.

The 2020 Ambassador Rising Star Recipient is Brent Singer of Farmers Insurance-Brent Singer Agency of Owosso. He was nominated and selected for his service to both the community and the chamber.

Brent opened his insurance agency in November 2016 after spending over 20 years in the manufacturing sales arena. He quickly joined the Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce and began connecting with other business people in the area. He then volunteered to be a Chamber Ambassador and has since contributed countless hours to chamber events including the Home Garden Business EXPO, Chamber AM, Connect@Four, the Ladies Golf Classic and Chamber Classic Golf Outing. Brent is a member of the Chamber’s Shiawassee Connection Group and is a current candidate in the Leadership Shiawassee Program.

Singer is also the current president of the Owosso Kiwanis Morning Club and serves on the Welcome Home Veterans Board of Directors. In his spare time, Singer likes to restore vintage cars, specifically his 1969 Buick.
