We are officially launching the EcoTuesday Ambassador Program!
EcoTuesday Ambassadors are outgoing, well networked individuals in cities around the world that share EcoTuesday’s vision for change and are passionate about creating structured monthly networking events for sustainable business leaders to come together. EcoTuesday offers Ambassadors the opportunity to produce high-quality networking events while earning extra income. We require Ambassadors to work in teams of two in each city - so find a friend or colleague to share in the fun.
Ambassadors are responsible for a variety of tasks, including finding and securing a speaker and a venue each month, publicizing the event in their local area, selling advertising and sponsorship opportunities to local businesses, and communicating closely with EcoTuesday Headquarters.
Interested in learning more about what it takes for you and a friend to produce an EcoTuesday event in your city? We'll have Ambassador Program Information calls in the coming weeks so you can ask questions. Contact us for more information.
Check out all of our fabulous Ambassadors in cities across the country below:
