Joining the ShelterBox Ambassador Team

ShelterBox camp in the imaginary country of "Fredonia". Ambassador Field Training, Spring 2011, Mason, Texas.

It’s official this morning – I’ve joined the Texas ShelterBox Ambassador team! I’ll be joining a team of twelve others in the state – incredible men and women, many of whom I met this spring at the Ambassador Field Training session held here in Texas.

We’re asked to “be the face of ShelterBox in our communities” – to make both groups and individuals aware of the ShelterBox mission. Basically growing public awareness through presentations and speaking arrangements with groups in the area. Central Texas readers -especially if I’ve already spoken to you about photography or outdoor sport – I’d love to come speak to your group! The fall schedule is filling up, so please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email.

I’m very excited about this step – hopefully the first step in the process of working to be a ShelterBox Response Team member that deploys into the field. There is some deep irony that public speaking – such an anathema as a child, is becoming such a large part of my life.

Bring it on – I look forward to it!
