Our Members

Within the Ambassadors organization, there are ten committees designated to implement different aspects of service or leadership to either the community or the organization itself. Each committee has an appointed Chair, who serves on the Executive Council, and one or more Associate Chairs, who apply for their positions and are selected by the Chair of that committee. 

Each Ambassador can participate in any one of seven standing committees. Standing committees host events and provide resources throughout the academic year that members may participate in and/or utilize. All Ambassadors service and involvement is organized and implemented through the committee system.

Furthermore, there are three selective committees. Ambassadors must apply and be selected to serve on these committees. Those selected must perform the tasks required of them in standing committees and selective committee. Selective committees meet often throughout their semester depending on the committee’s duties and purpose.
