District 84 Club Ambassador Program
by LGET Scott Hoehn, DTM

Become a guest, a spy, a representative and a future leader all at the same time by becoming a "CLUB AMBASSADOR"! 

Your challenge this year is to take a step outside your club and visit at least three clubs this year which you are not a member of.  Then, while you're there, take note of at least three things that the club you are visiting does that your own club does not do.

Note: All Club Ambassadors will be recognized at District Conference in front of their peers unless prefer to receive their pin/certificate ASAP. In that case the Club Ambassador needs to make a request when sending in the forms. The Area Governor will receive the pin/certificate at DEC (happens every other month) and deliver the pin/certificate to the club when he/she visits and/or at his/her convenience.
