Ambassadors

If you want to find out more about the Genetics Society, or would like to help organise a local event, please contact your institute ambassador in the first instance.

The tasks of the Genetics Society Ambassador are not onerous and include:

Recruiting new members by:

  • targeting new student intakes
  • alerting your department/institution/university to deadlines for grants available to researchers

Promoting the society by:

  • publicising Genetics Society meetings and other events (e.g. putting up posters or by word of mouth)
  • manning stands at relevant local events
  • Attending ad hoc national “get togethers” to meet the committee and network with other local ambassadors (travel expenses paid)

Providing feedback from the membership about Genetics Society activities

Helping organise local events such as socials etc

Assisting the Membership Secretary in keeping an accurate log of those members that have moved on and to where

As an ambassador you will receive lots of support from the Genetics Society, including supplies of promotional materials and loan of pop-up banners.
