Regional Ambassador Program

edit
  • Added the "Education Manager" role to manage at the national level
  • Dual Goal: Managable work levels; minimal bureaucracy
  • Remaining questions:
    • What is the appropriate workload for each Regional Ambassador?

Approx. how many professors & how many Campus Ambassadors will each Regional Ambassador be responsible for?

3 - 5 professors per ambassador

What is the time commitment for this role? (Still 3-5 hours a week? 10 hours a week?)

My take is that we should determine the appropriate time commitment, and then define the size of each "region" accordingly. So if we want the time commitment to be 3-5 hours only (which would be my preference), we should probably have each Regional Ambassador be in charge of only a couple of CAs/professors.

    • How many Regional Ambassadors per region?

My recommendation: 1 to 3. If any more is needed, we should break up the region into smaller regions.2

    • Should we have Regional Ambassadors in regions without participating professors/Ambassadors? This could be a good way to jumpstart activities in that region - similar to the rationale for having Ambassadors at universities without participating professors.

Yes, the regional Ambassadors without Campus Ambassador experiences need to refer to other Regional Ambassador/Educator before confirming the commitment of the Professor
