What is an Ambassador in the Membership module?
An Ambassador is the person who referred or recruited a member to your organization. Argenta tracks this on the member record so you can recognize who is bringing people in.
Set a member's ambassador
- Open the member record and go to Member Details.
- Find the Ambassador (Referred By) field.
- Start typing the referring person's name in the lookup and select them.
- Click Save All Changes & Continue or Save All Changes & Exit.
Who can be an ambassador
An ambassador is an existing constituent, often a current member, donor, or volunteer, who introduced someone to your organization.
Ambassador vs. Solicitor
They track different things. An ambassador refers new members to the membership program; a solicitor is the team member credited with bringing in a donation on the fundraising side. The same person can be both.
Why track it
- Give credit for who brings in new members.
- Spot your best recruiters to support referral or incentive programs.
- Say thank you when an ambassador's referral joins, with a note, a newsletter mention, or a small token of appreciation.
