What It Is & How to Be One

    The BCI Ambassadors are a very active group of bonsai enthusiasts who liaison between BCI and their own clubs.  They agree to serve in the BCI Ambassador Program to develop greater communication between all of the BCI Member Clubs in the world. The Ambassadors keep in touch with the BCI Ambassador Program Coordinator by letters, faxes or e-mail, informing BCI about the activities of their clubs and exchanging information and newsletters among clubs.

     The Diplomatic Mailbag is the BCI Ambassador's newsletter and is published each season. It includes ideas and activities shared between the Ambassadors, lists new clubs, educational programs, etc. Only those BCI clubs that have become part of this program receive the Diplomatic Mailbag through their Ambassadors.

     Make sure your club is part of this wonderful program. There is no extra cost to your club or to the Ambassador. It is a great way to keep in touch with clubs throughout the world, exchange ideas, learn from experiences of others and share those of your club.
