Montgomery College ACES Ambassador Leadership Program

Student Ambassadors

Fall 2023/Spring 2024

Description/Mission:

The mission of the Montgomery College (MC) ACES Ambassador Leadership Program (AALP) is to build a synergistic community of principle-based leaders within our ACES student team.

Our ACES Ambassador leadership journey continues strongly into its sixth year.  Our theme this 2023/2024 season is “Leadership ACES – Empowerment through Effective Communication & Leadership Skills”.  Our program includes:

  • Thoughtful discussions about “skills” of conflict resolution, diplomacy, and effective communicating during our bi-monthly meetings (five in fall 2023 and five in spring 2024).
  • Guest speaker presentations from our community to share their leadership experiences and educational/career journey.
  • Leadership skills inquiries about our ever-changing world are needed to help solve and heal complicated world issues.
  • A “public speaking” forum with Ambassadors participating in an “in-person” masterclass with peers and leaders in the community.
  • Volunteer participation and panel presentations to support our ACES special programs, including “Welcome to ACES” and “Make Your Move”.

We would love to welcome you to join us!
