Ambassador Program

Alliance Ambassador Program.

The Alliance Ambassador Program consists of energetic Alliance Members that volunteer and donate their time and efforts to assist the Alliance in its mission to provide our members services that strengthen the economic vitality in Ames and enhance the quality of life in our community.

The mission of the Alliance Ambassadors is to promote member commitment, engagement and retention by raising awareness of Alliance activities and benefits, and informing and involving new and existing Alliance members to promote strong, engaged membership.

2025 Ambassador of the Year:
Morgan Dalbeck - Saltech Systems

A remarkable brand ambassador is someone who embodies a brand’s values, passionately shares its mission, and authentically connects with others to amplify its impact. If you’ve attended an Alliance event this year, chances are you’ve met Morgan Dalbeck. Morgan is a tireless advocate for the Ames Regional Economic Alliance and its affiliate organizations, serving as a vital extension of our core team.

Morgan is a recent graduate of the Leadership Ames program, an active member of the AREA Young Professionals Advisory Council, and a steadfast participant in 1 Million Cups, where she shows up each week to support and connect with our community. She deeply understands the mission of the Alliance and goes above and beyond to advance it.

It is our pleasure to award Morgan Dalbeck of Saltech Systems, with the Ambassador of the Year award!
