The CSMB trainee committee is recruiting ambassadors to spread awareness about the society and its activities. We’re looking for trainees who want to positively contribute to the society and act as leaders on their campuses across Canada. By joining this program, you gain leadership experience, meet other trainees in the molecular biosciences, be the first to know about exciting CSMB initiatives and work with us to establish a community of trainees across Canada.
The role of a CSMB Ambassador
Ambassadors will represent the CSMB at their institution, act as a point of contact for information about the CSMB and promote CSMB membership and CSMB-related events. In this role, you will host CSMB information sessions at your local campus, collaborate with on-campus student groups to promote the CSMB, share information on deadlines for CSMB award applications and share information/updates related to CSMB’s annual conference and sponsored events. Through the CSMB’s social media, we encourage you to actively engage with our posts and share photos or videos from your membership drives and other promotional activities.
Program structure and goals
After being selected, ambassadors will have a mandatory virtual orientation and training session with the CSMB trainee committee as well as a virtual meeting every month to discuss ongoing projects. You will receive approved design templates to use when promoting the CSMB on your social media pages, email threads, PowerPoint slides and in other communications. Ambassadors will have a term of one-year and may choose to renew at the end of the first term.
How to apply
To be eligible, you must be a CSMB trainee member with a current paid CSMB membership enrolled at a Canadian institution. Leadership experience is an asset but is not required.
