Role and Responsibilities of a CBDCE Ambassador:

Ambassadors will represent CBDCE at various professional events (in-person OR virtual) to encourage the path of the Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). They will be required to give at least two presentations per year. Ambassadors provide a standardized 15–30-minute presentation (provided by CBDCE) and must be available to answer questions about certification and CBDCE. The presentations can be conducted in person or virtually and will be coordinated by the Ambassador. The Ambassador will seek out the presentation opportunities. CBDCE’s standardized presentation will include the value of CDCES certification, why certification is obtained, eligibility requirements, and testimonials from CDCESs. The tools available for Ambassadors include notes to assist in delivering the CBDCE message and access to brochures, tip sheets, and FAQs.
