Regional Ambassador Program[edit]
- Proposed Organizational Chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Ambassador_levels.pdf&page=1
- Added the "Education Manager" role to manage at the national level
- Dual Goal: Managable work levels; minimal bureaucracy
- Remaining questions:
- What is the appropriate workload for each Regional Ambassador?
Approx. how many professors & how many Campus Ambassadors will each Regional Ambassador be responsible for?
3 - 5 professors per ambassador
What is the time commitment for this role? (Still 3-5 hours a week? 10 hours a week?)
My take is that we should determine the appropriate time commitment, and then define the size of each "region" accordingly. So if we want the time commitment to be 3-5 hours only (which would be my preference), we should probably have each Regional Ambassador be in charge of only a couple of CAs/professors.
- How many Regional Ambassadors per region?
My recommendation: 1 to 3. If any more is needed, we should break up the region into smaller regions.2
- Should we have Regional Ambassadors in regions without participating professors/Ambassadors? This could be a good way to jumpstart activities in that region - similar to the rationale for having Ambassadors at universities without participating professors.
Yes, the regional Ambassadors without Campus Ambassador experiences need to refer to other Regional Ambassador/Educator before confirming the commitment of the Professor
