Affinity Group Ambassadors engage and inspire colleagues to deepen their commitment to our community. They help raise valuable resources to give Dane County families the opportunity to succeed in school, work, and life.

The Excellence in Engagement Award recognizes an Affinity Group Ambassador who demonstrates the leadership to involve others in our community’s Agenda for Change. Affinity Group Ambassadors are the key to growing campaign participation and increasing resources to benefit our community. They encourage colleagues to pursue professional and personal development through networking and volunteering, and inspire them to give, advocate, and volunteer year-round.

A nominee should be someone who is passionate about giving back, enthusiastic about involving others in the work, and is an effective leader. They may show this through growing membership in an affinity group, increasing participation in events, or motivating others to step up their giving.
