A Network Ambassador serves as the vital link between their institution and the CSU+UC EPN, promoting resources and programming while recruiting colleagues to contribute to the network's growth and excellence. They actively participate in committee work, monthly meetings about hot topics, and the annual conference, sharing innovative ideas and best practices from their institution to enhance network programming. Each institution in the CSU+UC Event Professionals Network is represented by two ambassadors.
Responsibilities
Have a pulse on events at your institution.
Represent the network at your institution by promoting CSU+UC EPN resources and programming and recruiting the time and talent of colleagues who want to help foster the growth and excellence of the network.
Serving on a network committee is encouraged.
You are encouraged to participate in monthly Network Hot Topic meetings (one hour per month) and the annual conference. We promise you will get plenty out of these gatherings.
Be prepared to share trending ideas, speakers, and best practices from your institution for network programming.
If this sounds exciting, contact our membership committee to learn more about how you can serve as a Network Ambassador.
