The Ambassador Program at Deering Bay is still looking for member volunteers. It is an effective way for current members to share their love of Deering Bay with newcomers. Since the beginning of the year we have had more than 20 families join the Club and we are expecting many more as we see a lot of families moving to Miami from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.

What is the Club Ambassador Program?

Club Ambassadors help new members make the transition from a new member to an involved member of the Club! A Club Ambassador will assist the new member with a smooth integration into the Deering Bay lifestyle.

Who can be an Ambassador?

All Club members can volunteer to be a Deering Bay Ambassador. As an Ambassador you will be: • Club Cheerleader – involved in the Club, who frequently attends Club events and activities. • Welcome Wagon – reaching out to new members with a welcome email or phone call. • Buddy – extending an invitation for a round of golf or initiation to a Club social event. • Friends – willing to be paired with new members for activities and social events.

What are the duties of an Ambassador?

• Based on interests, Ambassadors members would be assigned to each new Club member. • The Ambassador will call or email their assigned new member within the first week of joining. • The Ambassador will invite their assigned new member to join him/her to a Member Mixer, continental breakfast, lunch or dinner. • Ambassadors and their assigned new members will attend a new member reception to meet other new members, Ambassadors and Board Members.

How long is an Ambassador assignment?

Roughly a season. After two months, however, new members should be pretty well integrated into life at Deering Bay. Ambassadors should continue to send an email or call to check-in with their assigned new member for the remainder of the season. Who knows? You might have met a friend for life.

We are always looking for new Ambassadors, so if you are interested in participating, please pass by the Front Office or contact me, Daniella Tosta at d.tosta@dbycc.com and I will forward you the Ambassador form.
