ABCT Ambassador and Student Ambassador Programs
ABCT is committed to enhancing the membership experience. The ABCT Ambassador and Student Ambassador programs are designed to advance participation, membership and identity with the association at the local level.
ABCT Ambassadors and Student Ambassadors disseminate ABCT information, actively discuss the association with students and unaffiliated faculty or colleagues, serve as role models through their active participation and act as the “eyes & ears” of the association locally.

For more information or to become an ABCT Ambassador or Student Ambassador, please contact Dan Hoffman, PhD, ABPP, Ambassador Committee Chair, [email protected]
