Make a Connection Through the SIOP Ambassador Program
Did you know that hundreds of SIOP Annual Conference attendees each year are first-time participants?
As many can recall from their first SIOP Annual Conference, it can be an overwhelming experience, particularly for newcomers. The SIOP Ambassador Program supports our newest attendees by matching them with people willing to share what they’ve learned from past conferences. We welcome both Newcomers (those who are first-time conference attendees) and Ambassadors (those who have attended SIOP before) to join our program.
Serving as an Ambassador is a relatively small time commitment that can have a tremendous impact. If you are a graduate student, recent graduate in academic or applied jobs, or a more veteran SIOP member, please consider showing a first-time SIOP conference attendee the ropes this year! Have you served as an Ambassador before? We would love to have you participate again!
Stay tuned for some exciting changes we are launching for the program this year to make the experience even more engaging.
