Applications are now being accepted for our next cohort of NetSquared Regional Ambassadors.
The NetSquared Ambassadors are a group of senior NetSquared leaders who offer their support to other Net2 co-organizers in their country/region. The Ambassador program has been instrumental in the growth of NetSquared and in 2016 we plan on expanding the program from four Ambassadors to at least eight. This will allow us to offer Ambassador support to almost all NetSquared organizers globally. :-)
If you’re interested in building your leadership skills, helping shape the direction of NetSquared, and want to help other Net2 organizers be their best please apply! We are accepting applications from all Net2 organizers until January 15. Find out more and apply at http://organizershandbook.wikispaces.com/Regional+Ambassadors.
Good luck!

Duties: The Regional Ambassadors will be expected to do the following:
- Create a community of support for local organizers in your region by holding calls, answering questions, and being a mentor. Ambassadors are expected to reach out to their cohort at least once per month.
