District 7780 is Looking for Environmental Ambassadors

What is an Environmental Ambassador?

Environmental ambassadors serve to promote Rotary’s new focus and help protect our environment. Being an environmental ambassador is a new service opportunity for Rotarians in our district. 
 

What are some activities an Environmental Ambassador should do?

  • Reach out to other groups and community members who care about environmental issues.
  • Spread the word that protecting our environment is a new focus for Rotary.
  • Find ways to connect Rotarians in our clubs with service opportunities to protect our environment.
  • Share what you learn with other environmental ambassadors in our district.

 

How can I become an Environmental Ambassador?

Clubs can nominate environmental ambassadors to serve on our district’s new Environmental Committee.  Contact Fred Horch, Environmental Ambassador for District 7780, to learn more.
