Ambassadors

Ambassadors serve as valued champions of Hartford International University (HIU) by advancing its mission within their personal and professional networks, as well as the larger community. Ambassadors are nominated by the Governance Committee and voted in by the Board of Trustees to serve for an initial one-year term. Members in good standing are eligible for re-election to additional terms of up to three years each.

Ambassadors are knowledgeable about HIU – its history, mission, and strategies for achieving its mission – and stay informed about its work in the community. They share their affiliation and information about the work, mission, and needs of HIU among their networks in a variety of ways.
