Erie Ambassadors
The Erie Ambassador program is designed to comprehensively train community leaders interested in promoting Erie. The course examines numerous aspects of the community, providing in-depth information and insight from Erie’s top civic and business leaders.
The 2010 curriculum topics include a program orientation, the 12th Street corridor, education, entertainment and cultural district, tourism, the economic development system, Presque Isle, the bayfront district and Erie County's political system. The spring training course begins in January with classes offered on Tuesday evenings. The fall Ambassador training begins in September with classes held Tuesday mornings.
Erie Ambassadors are actively involved as volunteers in the community after graduation and, according to the group’s vision statement, “provide human capital as a grass-roots extension supporting the three divisions and one mission of the Erie Regional Chamber & Growth Partnership.”
Continuing education opportunities are also offered to Ambassadors each year, including tours and updates on important community developments.
The cost of the Ambassador training is $175, covering all materials and transportation, and space is limited. For more information, contact Ms. Cathy Noble, event coordinator, at 814-454-7191 or via email.
