"The ISPE Ambassador Program gives me a chance to show the Membership and the industry that I really believe in ISPE and the opportunities that it provides. I am currently promoting the ISPE Ambassador Program within the Great Lakes Chapter to develop a team of allies to help us with retention, event promotion, and new Membership drives."

Question: Are there costs associated with being an Ambassador?

Answer: The cost associated with the recognition elements of the Ambassador Program is budgeted and paid for by ISPE Headquarters. Nominal costs such as telephone charges, faxes, etc., may be incurred and will be the sole responsibility of the Ambassador.

Question: Is this a local or international initiative?

Answer: The Ambassador Program is an international program with a primary focus on your local Affiliate and Chapter events.
