Ambassadors play an important role in attracting and engaging members. Ambassadors work to grow our community by encouraging peers in their network to join, and by welcoming new members. If you are interested in membership or recently joined, find someone wearing a Ambassador ribbon at our events, introduce yourself, and they will be happy to connect.
If you are an active member who enjoys connecting with new professionals, passionate about building the tech community and looking for new avenues of involvement – you might consider serving on the Ambassadors Committee.
