Our Leadership

Ambassadors

Ambassadors are members that build relationships of non-members and members within the organization. Ambassadors achieve this by being a familiar face at events, staying informed, and informing others about YPAL programs and events. Ambassadors also engage non-members and members in conversation, connect them to appropriate contacts within the organization and at events, and develop their social skills through networking opportunities. The overall mission of an ambassador is to help non-members and members navigate their interests throughout the organization, while building professional networking skills.

Our ambassador program is a year-long commitment, running from July to June. If you are interested in becoming an ambassador, please reach out to the Director of Membership.
