As an LTEN member, you have access to a wide range of resources, publications, events and professional development opportunities, all designed to enhance your ability to deliver world-class learning. Few of these member benefits, however, are more custom-fit to meet your needs — or more misunderstood — than the LTEN Ambassador program.
If you’re not already in contact with your ambassador, you should know that right now there are volunteer ambassadors available to work with you one-on-one. These seasoned LTEN members have the expertise needed to field your LTEN-related questions as well as offer insights and advice about how you can navigate LTEN benefits and get the most from your membership.
Unfortunately, many LTEN members assume that the ambassador program is meant exclusively for new members. Not true! Though new members are automatically contacted by an ambassador within the first year, the ambassador program is designed to serve every LTEN member, no matter where they are in their career.
In fact, one of the outstanding features of the LTEN Ambassador program is that the scope and duration of your work with an ambassador is entirely up to you. Whether you have a quick question about the upcoming LTEN webinar, are looking for LTEN publications focused on a specific topic, or would like to develop an extended mentoring relationship, your LTEN Ambassador can help you.
All you need to do is ask!
