Ambassador Program Overview

The Board of Directors of the Broadband Forum has agreed that the prime objectives of the program are to:

• Promote the Broadband Forum
• Promote the specific work of the Broadband Forum and the Broadband industry
• Educate relevant groups regarding the Broadband Forum and BroadbandSuite
• Recruit new members

Ambassadors will be drawn primarily from Forum Officers, Directors, ex-Officio Board Members, the Forum's Marketing Director and carefully selected member representatives. Member representatives will be subject matter and/or regional experts. All Ambassadors will need to be approved by the Forum Officers.

The Ambassador Working Group will run the program with the aid of the Marketing Director, the Secretariat and the PR agencies. The staff’s role will be to identify, screen and actively seek appropriate speaking opportunities; such opportunities are expected to include:

• Conferences
• Trade Shows with attached speaking opportunities
• Meetings of other industry bodies with interest in Broadband
• Regulatory, research, government and other higher level bodies

The Working Group will decide if the Forum should provide a speaker, panelist (or Chairperson in some cases) and will propose a volunteer from the approved lists. The Working Group will also propose topics and content for speakers and Chairs and will work with the Forum Marcom team to develop content.

Ambassador Program – Recognition

Ambassadors and their companies commit significant time and resources when they join the program. This recognition program has been designed to ensure that Ambassadors and their companies receive regular recognition of their contributions.

Recognition of Broadband Forum Ambassadors will be achieved through the following means:

• Publication of the names, biographies and photos of Ambassadors on the Forum web site
• Announcement at the Forum Annual Meetings of engagements undertaken in the previous year, naming the Ambassadors and the events
• Printing of the word Ambassador on the Forum meeting attendance badge
• Award of the Ambassador pin to authorized Ambassadors who should wear their pin during all Forum Meetings and at external events where they represent the Forum
• Presentation to the Ambassador of a wall certificate from the Broadband Forum at the Annual Meeting
• Press release announcing the appointment of all new Ambassadors prior to the Annual Meeting
