The Merritt Fund Ambassadors program was created in 2008 to provide supporters of the Merritt Fund with the tools to effectively promote the Merritt Fund at meetings, events, etc. As part of the program, we have created an Ambassadors Email list and an "Ambassadors Kit" of materials to help get the word out. You can download the materials below or get them from the Merritt Fund office by emailing merrittfund at ala.org or calling (312) 280-4226.
The Merritt Fund Ambassadors Kit includes the following materials:
-
Information Sheet (includes a 2-minute "stump speech" about the Merritt Fund)
-
Merritt Fund brochure (glossy printed copies available from the Merritt Fund office)
-
Merritt Fund Ribbons (available from the Merritt Fund office)
