Competitive Intelligence Alliance | Ambassador
The Competitive Intelligence Alliance exists to provide those responsible for competitive intelligence (either full time or as part of a larger set of responsibilities), with the skills, resources, and insights they needed to thrive in their roles.
This is where our ambassadors come in. Experts within their field, our ambassadors play an essential role in helping us provide inspiration, content, and exciting meetups to our growing network of competitive intelligence professionals.
Weβd love for you to be a part of it. π₯³

As an ambassador, youβll have seen the benefits of being involved with the community first-hand, and we want to share that with everyone!
π Define the role and bring the next generation into it.
The more people that know about competitive intelligence the better. That means more talent, more recognition, and more influence.

β Enthusiastic β
We want our ambassadors to be enthusiastic members and contributors in the Competitive Intelligence Alliance. It's the whole reason we started! We want you to love working with people who have the same passion for the job you do.
π Engaged π
Donβt worry, weβre not asking for blood, sweat, or tears. At the core of being a Competitive Intelligence Alliance ambassador is helping to spread the word. We ask our ambassadors to be active members of their online community, as that makes building awareness of the Competitive Intelligence Alliance that much easier.
π€ Committed π€
We're in it for the long run, and we hope our ambassadors will be, too. This doesn't mean we'll be putting loads on your plate - we're just looking for a two-way partnership.
Not looking for a big commitment, but still want to contribute to the community? π€
