Print this Article | Send to Colleague

New this year, the Emerging Professionals SIG is excited to announce the Emerging Professionals Ambassador Program! Our goal is to connect emerging professionals with a seasoned professional to help the newcomer navigate sessions, discover new resources and create networking opportunities.

Emerging Professionals: Be sure to request an Ambassador on your registration form! This is a great opportunity to meet seasoned professionals and learn to navigate the GSAE Annual Meeting!

Interested Ambassadors: If you are interested in helping an Emerging Professional a navigate the meeting, check the box on the registration form and we will match you with a first-time attendee. If you have already registered for the annual meeting and would like to participate, please contact Jane Anne.

Being an Ambassador is a short-term commitment and requires very little time, yet can make a big difference in the Annual Meeting experience for the Emerging Professional. Annual Meeting Ambassadors will benefit by expanding their professional contacts while investing in the future of the organization, and will also receive recognition throughout the Annual Meeting.

Ambassadors are expected to:
1.   Connect with the Emerging Professional at least once before the Annual Conference via e-mail or phone.
2.   Meet with the Emerging Professional at least once on-site at the conference (coffee, a drink, whatever you prefer)
3.   Help the Emerging Professional network at the conference by introducing him or her to some of your colleagues.

Ambassadors Receive:

An Ambassador ribbon to wear during the Annual Meeting
