The Alliance Ambassador Program consists of energetic Alliance Investors that volunteer and donate their time and talents to assist in our mission to provide services that strengthen the economic vitality in the Ames AREA and enhance the quality of life in our community.
The mission of the Alliance Ambassadors is to promote commitment, engagement and relationship building by raising awareness of Alliance activities, benefits, and resources across the AREA.
Ambassadors serve as advocates by promoting the organization’s mission and the benefits of membership. They help raise awareness about available resources, services, and opportunities while encouraging others to get involved and support the organization’s initiatives.
Acting as a bridge between the organization and its members, ambassadors help communicate the organization’s values, goals, and initiatives. They represent both their own businesses and the organization, reinforcing a sense of community and mutual support.
Ambassadors ensure that members feel valued and supported by guiding them through the organization’s offerings. They help answer questions, provide insights into available resources, and facilitate communication between members and staff, ultimately enhancing the overall membership experience.
Ambassadors attend and assist at key events such as ribbon cuttings, Business After Hours, Coffee Mingles, and networking gatherings. They help create a welcoming environment, introduce new members to existing ones, and contribute to the success of events by fostering positive interactions.
Ambassadors connect with both new and existing members to create meaningful relationships. They serve as friendly points of contact, helping businesses and individuals expand their networks, share opportunities, and collaborate within the community.
Ambassadors play a key role in encouraging members to actively participate in events, programs, and initiatives. By fostering engagement, they help strengthen connections within the organization and ensure members take full advantage of available opportunities.

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!
