ACORN Ambassador Program
For some time the ACORN Board has been considering the introduction of a formal role for past ACORN Presidents and Board Members. It is recognised that a person who serves on the Board develops a wealth of knowledge, skills and abilities, and once the term of service as an ACORN Board member concludes there is no formal avenue to continue to contribute to the activities of the ACORN Board.

Subsequently every two years, the corporate knowledge and valuable resource of each past Board member is lost to ACORN. It also affects the workload of the current volunteer Board and adds to the steep learning curve for new Board members.

As part of the ACORN Strategic Plan developed at the February 2011 Board Meeting, the Board supported an initiative to form more strategic alliances and within this strategy the need to identify a formal role for Past Presidents and Board members was considered.

The Board believes that this role would be one that promotes these individuals as Ambassadors for ACORN. For further information and to apply please download the PDF information sheet below
