Ambassadors/Nominators are volunteers who act as representatives of the AIP. In this role, they promote the AIP in communities across the North and encourage teams to get nominated.
AIP Ambassador/Nominator:
- Support inspiring teams with eligible projects and encourage them to begin the nomination process.
- Mentor and support teams as they put their nominations together.
- Nominate teams for the AIP by writing and signing a nomination letter for them to submit as part of their nomination package.
- Celebrate and showcase Laureates, in their community, organization, and through social and conventional media.
Who can be an AIP Ambassador/Nominator?
Ambassadors/Nominators can be representatives of organizations, universities, research institutes, private sector entities, governments, or any other organization from the North or South with interests in the Canadian Arctic. It is the goal of the AIP to reach out to communities across the North as broadly and as deeply as possible. Therefore, local and regional representatives are essential to achieving this goal.
Can Ambassador/Nominator nominate more than one team?
Yes! Ambassadors/Nominators may submit more than one nomination for any given year. Note that Ambassadors/Nominators must be arms-length from the project they are nominating (they must not be team members, belong to organizations or groups connected to the project, nor be in any way connected to the activities, outputs, funding or management/administration of the proposed plan). Acting as an Ambassador/Nominator does not prevent an organization from being part of a project team nominated by another Ambassador/Nominator.
