Welcome to the Quarterly Alumni Ambassador Update
Each yearly quarter (aside from this initial email), expect an Alumni Ambassadors-exclusive email that will give you updates on what other Ambassadors are up to, where you can find GSBC on the road next and more.
The Gold Rush Referral Program is ON!
One expectation of Alumni Ambassadors is that they make at least one successful referral to GSBC's Annual School Session , Executive Development Institute for Community Bankers® or Community Bank Investments School .

Ambassadors are encouraged to do this during their entire year as an Ambassador, but they're eligible to earn two tiers of rewards from November-February for their efforts. Make your referral easy on yourself and get rewarded while you can!

How to Participate:

  • Register below as a member and get your unique referral link.

  • Share your referral link via email, social media or text message with prospective students by February 1, 2020. If they request more information from GSBC, you will be sent a $20 Amazon gift card.

  • If your referred candidate(s)* enroll in a GSBC program by February 15, 2020, a $200 check is sent your way!

*There is no limit to how many $200 checks you are eligible for; however, you are only eligible for one (1) $20 Amazon gift card.
Ambassador Expectations & Incentive Structure
Please take a moment to review (and print!) the below document. It has all the info you need in regards to what is expected of you as an Alumni Ambassador and the gifts that will be coming your way in exchange for your work.

Remember: To get credit for your efforts at banking industry-related events, post it on social media (Facebook, Twitter and/or LinkedIn) and use #GSBCAmbassador so we can see it!
Alumni Ambassador Suite
An Alumni Ambassador-only "suite" has been built into GSBC's website. It is password protected. It contains outreach ideas, an easy way to refer a student, the above outline document, a way to contact GSBC Alumni Advisors and more.


Password: gsbcambassador
(Please do not share the password with non-Ambassadors; the password is case sensitive)
Welcome Packets Are in the Mail
To kick things off, a welcome packet is on its way to your mailbox at the bank, even if you've been an Ambassador in the past. It will include:

  • A GSBC-branded business card holder
  • A GSBC lapel pin
  • Program brochures for you to give prospects
  • An 'Ask Me About GSBC' handout - a 4x6 "business card," to give to fellow bankers at events
  • GSBC stickers

If any items from this list aren't in your packet, let Blair know and she'll get them to you.
