Become an Ambassador
An Ambassador is a volunteer who is responsible for promoting the Orienteering Foundation and its work in their assigned Association and for seeking and relaying feedback from that Association
Why become an Ambassador?
It's a great way to give something back to our sport by acting as the local "face" of the Orienteering Foundation, promoting what we do and helping gather feedback to influence future policy and actions.
What's involved in being an Ambassador?
Doing whatever helps promote the Orienteering Foundation in your assigned Association, for example (as your time permits):
- making short presentations at Association or Club meetings
- discussing the Foundation's activities with other orienteers
- promoting the idea of making grant applications.
This requires you to keep well briefed about the Foundation's activities and being able to answer straightforward questions, relaying unusual or new questions to a Board member for response.
An initial briefing is given. There are also four online meetings a year with ambassadors and trustees to facilitiate two way flow of information - for ambassadors to be briefed on any latest grant awards and strategic directions, and for the board to listen to any emerging issues from ambassadors that the Orienteering Foundation may be able to help with.
Ambassadors are not expected to seek donations from current or potential donors (although everything they do to generally "spread the word" about the Orienteering Foundation helps).
