How do people and companies sign-up for activities?

What is a ‘Building Impact Ambassador’ and how much time does it require?
Building Impact Ambassadors are our liaisons within the companies and residential communities working and living in our buildings. Building Impact Ambassadors champion our events and encourage their coworkers & neighbors to participate. We ask that the ‘Ambassadors’ take a few minutes each month to forward our email about volunteer events, donation drives and social networking opportunities to their colleagues and neighbors. We design, plan, coordinate, and measure the community impact of all events and activities.
