*For more information on the BYC Ambassador of the Month selection criteria or to nominate an Ambassador for consideration of an award, please visit our Ambassador resources portal on the BYC site (you will need your CAGC member login credentials to access).

Additionally, the updated Ambassador toolkits will now be available on the BYC website on August 27th, 2019 located in the "Ambassador Portal" link off the Ambassadors page on our home page (under the "Get Started" tab in the navigation menu bar, scroll down to the Ambassador tab in the drop down menu and click, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to the "Ambassador portal" icon and click to enter).  You must use your CAGC member login credentials to access.  If you are a registered BYC Ambassador, but not a CAGC member with a login user ID, please contact the BYC Director (contact info listed below) for assistance. Once you are able to access the Ambassador portal, you will find all Ambassador resources and the toolkit available for download.  *Please note there have been several recent additions to the toolkit resources and also several edits made to existing resources.
