What It Is & How to Be One

by Alan Walker, BCI Past President

BCI Ambassadors are a group of bonsai enthusiasts who have volunteered to act as liaisons between BCI and their local clubs. Ambassadors receive an email newsletter, The Diplomatic Mailbag, four times during the year. This newsletter contains bonsai news from groups and individuals around the world and is edited by BCI Board Member, Frank Mihalic, USA.

 

Ambassadors are encouraged to share The Diplomatic Mailbag with their local club members, forwarding it via email. The articles and information may also be included in the local newsletter crediting the the D.M..

      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.

     To sign up for the BCI Ambassador Program, you should volunteer or be chosen from the membership of your BCI member club and be certified by the board or officers of your club. There can be one BCI Ambassador per member club.
