BANCF Ambassadors cheerfully volunteer their time throughout the year to make sure all members are taking advantage of the many benefits available to them as members. The Ambassadors are the friendly greeters at the monthly membership meetings, making people feel comfortable and welcome. During monthly phone banks, Ambassadors call members, especially our new members to encourage participation and offer assistance as needed. Ambassadors are a dedicated group as there is a time commitment to be an Ambassador. But the rewards are great and they are truly making a difference.
Here is some information on our BANCF Ambassadors:
