Communication Ambassadors

The Communication and Change Management Committee will be supported by a group of
Communication Ambassadors. The Ambassadors will disseminate information about the Shared Service
Centers (SSC) across campus and be a point of contact for staff and the SSC implementation team.
Ambassador Goals
• Help share the vision, dispel rumors, and mitigate turbulence
• Gather feedback and disseminate information throughout the implementation process
• Keep community informed about membership of committees and workgroups
• Communicate the “why’s” and the vision to first the campus and then the initial site
Ambassador Commitment
• Attend an initial and periodic meetings (monthly) to receive updates and information about Shared
• Read emails (at least every other week) with updates on Shared Service Centers
• Stay current on the information available on the Shared Service Centers CFE site
• Answer questions for your department, peer group and coworkers about Shared Service Centers;
provide updates and answer questions in meetings you attend regularly • Serve as a campus resource for Shared Service Center information
• Provide the Communication and Change Management Leadership team and the Shared Service
Centers Steering Committee with feedback from around campus
Membership

added as the implementation progresses.
