About the INSR Ambassador Program

 

program Overview

INSR Ambassadors are SER & INSR Members in good standing who want to be more involved in INSR but in a more “casual” and less “committed” way than a board member. Ambassadors are individuals who work or volunteer in the field of seed biology, ecological restoration, plant conservation, land management, etc., and help promote the work of INSR within their region, share best practices, transfer knowledge, connect stakeholders, and increase SER/INSR membership.

Expectations of an Ambassador:

  • Have a good understanding of INSR’s mission,  goals, activities, board, and website, and a background in aspects of seed-based restoration;

  • Represent and promote INSR at relevant events, using the materials (e.g., slides, brochures, posters, etc.) created and shared by the INSR Board;

  • Direct interested stakeholders toward relevant resources, such as relevant INSR and SER contacts, INSR website, international standards, etc.;

  • Attend the annual INSR membership meeting and give a brief update about activities performed or relevant news/events from their region;

  • Connect INSR with regional restoration networks;

  • Encourage and assist members to submit relevant stories to share as social media posts, and blog articles on the website or through the INSR Newsletter;

  • Advise INSR’s webmaster and social media coordinator of pertinent symposia and other events; 

  • Help the Board identify contributors and speakers for symposia and publications, committees, and nominees for INSR elections;

  • Submit a short annual report of their activities; 

  • Submit an annual request for an extension of their status as an ambassador
