Applied Microbiology International has announced that it has recruited 11 new Global Ambassadors from around the world.
Global ambassadors provide a range of expertise and knowledge across regions and sectors, and support and promote applied microbiology and our organisation.
Chief executive Dr Lucy Harper commented: “Our Global Ambassadors help us to reach new audiences, grow our membership and engage a breadth of experience and expertise to deliver our desired impact.
“Individually, they are deeply committed to their unique area of expertise. Collectively, they share our passion and belief that applied microbiology can solve the world’s greatest challenges.
“Our Global Ambassadors have been appointed to help amplify our campaigns, support our purpose and accelerate discoveries across, and with, our international membership.”
Global Ambassadors serve for a two-year tenure promoting AMI’s strategy and are a key source of information about our work. They play a pivotal role in our communication strategy and are equipped with marketing materials and merchandise to assist in growing membership in their regions.
Over the coming weeks, The Microbiologist will be running articles on each of our new Global Ambassadors. AMI is also still looking for Global Ambassadors from a variety of regions. To find out more, click HERE.
