I was asked to be a Virtual Ambassador, what does that mean and how do I participate? 

Congrats on being asked to help us get the word out about our event! Being a virtual ambassador is much like being a table captain at in person events. However, you aren't restricted to asking 10 people to come to the event. Consider asking Grandma, Grandpa, and other family members who can tune in online from the comfort of their homes. Click the Virtual Ambassadors button at the top of the page or click HERE to view our Virtual Ambassador Resources. Reach out to our event coordinator laura@gfsevents.org if you have any questions. Thank you for helping make our event a success!
