Phi Theta Kappa Presidential Ambassadors

Phi Theta Kappa Presidential Ambassadors are appointed by the Executive Director upon recommendation by the Regional Coordinator.

Presidential Ambassadors are college presidents who have demonstrated outstanding support of Phi Theta Kappa on the local, regional and international levels. As Presidential Ambassadors, they act as liaisons between the Society and other college administrators in their region, often assisting with the development of new scholarships and new chapters.

Presidential Ambassadors also promote attendance and participation in such Society events as the AACC Convention Presidents Breakfast, the All-USA and All-State Academic Team competitions.

Presidential Ambassadors also encourage their fellow presidents to provide support for their campus Phi Theta Kappa advisors and chapters, and to attend Phi Theta Kappa conventions and conferences. Presidential Ambassadors work closely with their Regional Coordinator and with International Headquarters to provide additional support to the Society.
