Chapter Idea Fair
Ambassador Program
Metropolitan Chapter
Entry Details
The Ambassador Program is designed to create a more welcoming chapter culture by pairing every new and transfer member with a friendly “buddy.” This connection fosters engagement, encourages participation, and provides a clear pathway for members interested in becoming future chapter leaders by giving them an early opportunity to get more involved and showcase their leadership skills.
Implementation
Ambassadors are members chosen for their energy, knowledge, and social nature were invited to serve as guides for new members. They promote participation, represent the Chapter at events, and help supplement the work of the MD and Membership Chair. The pilot year has been highly successful, with new members reporting appreciation for the additional contacts. We are eager to see the program expand through this next year.
