Who are the INbassadors?

The INbassadors are volunteers from Wilmington’s business and nonprofit communities who have formed a social network to promote the City of Wilmington and all it has to offer.

They meet eight times a year and different locations in the City. The 2013 dates are: December 17, January 28, March 18, April 15, June 17, July 15, September 16, and October 21.

The INbassadors have recently established the IN Show, a fun, INteractive preview of the hottest happenings IN Wilmington that allows attendees to win tickets to upcoming events and restaurants. The IN Show meet’s four times a year at Chelsea Tavern. The 2013 dates are: February 25, May 20, August 26 and Nov: TBD.

Meetings start at 5:30 pm and for the IN Show, doors open at 6:30 pm, with the show starting at 7 pm.

Mission

As ambassadors of the city’s image campaign, “Wilmington: In the Middle of it All,” the INbassadors are committed to finding new ways to coordinate promotional efforts and enhance the already vibrant social scene in Wilmington.

INbassadors will:

• Attend a minimum of four INbassadors meetings annually
  • Members will offer constructive feedback about events and programs they attended.
  • Members will share ideas for improving city events.
• Volunteer at a minimum of two Wilmington events annually
  • Examples: Wilmington Grand Prix, IN Week, Fringe Festival, City Life Awards, Clifford Brown Jazz Festival.
• Join the INbassadors Group Facebook page and opt in to receive Group notifications from Facebook.
• Participate in the Pay-it-Forward INbassadors program four times a year
  • Every time a member posts information on the INbassadors’ Group Wall on Facebook, in the newsletter or on the website, he or she must share two other downtown/city events on their own personal and/or business walls(s) that they are not directly affiliated with, but simply excited about, or perhaps heard about from another INbassador.
  • Members will help spread the word about community events and programs to their business and social networks.
• Create one new partnership annually through INbassadors connections
  • Members will help develop new initiatives that they feel will appeal to their colleagues, clients, friends and acquaintances.
