In line with its commitment to increase the impact of the organization,
OSGeo is excited to announce its new Ambassador Programme.

* What is an OSGeo Ambassador?*

Someone who helps OSGeo to grow its financial resources through
fundraising. These are some fundraising activities that we would love for
an ambassador to explore:
    • Engage with Organizations such as the European Commission (EC), or
the United Nations (UN), to seek grants and other opportunities.
    • Liaison with commercial companies and acquire new sponsors.

We acknowledge that it may not be easy for everyone o approach many of
these organizations. An ideal candidate would be someone who already has a
strong professional network that they can leverage.

As the ambassador will be representing OSGeo, it is critical for them to be
aligned with the Foundation’s values and vision., as well as to operate
within the OSGeo Code of Conduct.

We are very thankful for all the resources brought by our Ambassadors, and
we are happy to offer a 10% recommendation bonus based on the amount they
bring to OSGeo.


*Why increase OSGeo’s financial resources? *
Our budget enables us to support OSGeo’s mission, by providing funding to
projects, committees and seeding the FOSS4G conference. By increasing our
budget we would be able for instance, to improve the marketing of the
organization and to provide more travel grants to attend the conferences.
We could also support more projects on getting compliance certification of
the Standards they implement (for example with the Open Geospatial
Consortium [OGC]).

*Sound interesting?*
Please drop us an email to board-priv at osgeo.org with an expression of
interest. In addition, please feel free to circulate this to your network
in order to increase and widen the OSGeo Ambassador program.
