Ambassador Board

The 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ Ambassador Board is a select group of committed individuals who strive to make a difference in the lives of students and the communities our schools serve. Members are mid-career professionals from a diverse range of private, public, and non-profit organizations who are interested in growing their networks and making a direct impact on historically underserved students in Washington, DC.

Board Member Responsibilities

As a complement to 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ’s Board of Directors, the Ambassador Board acts as an additional selective group of champions and network-builders for 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ. Over the course of their term, Ambassador Board members commit their energy towards three primary responsibilities: activation, commitment, and investment.

Activation

Board members connect and build relationships with new external champions, represent and advocate for 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ across their networks, and actively seek new partners and friends for 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ.

Commitment

Ambassador Board members attend quarterly in-person Board meetings, and act as members of host committees for our spring fundraiser and annual College Send-Off graduation campaign. In addition, they engage in student-focused events annually, including 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ’s College Fair, our KIPP Forward networking event, scholarship interview panels, 91·ηΓωΔρ³ͺ days of service, NAF Academy Career days, or school-based volunteer projects.

Investment

As a part of their commitment, Ambassador Board members fulfill a β€œgive/get” financial pledge of $2500 annually via any combination of individual fundraising campaigns, monthly giving program membership or sponsorship, event ticket sales, or direct contributions.
