SLUDTERA would like to inform its followers and readers that an invitation is being extended for interested persons, to become an Ambassador with Startup Huddle St. Lucia. The program was used as a proof of concept and springboard, which led to the launch of six other Startup Huddles throughout the Eastern Caribbean. Five of those Huddles headed by a member of the YLAI Alumni, but all seven being proudly supported by the U.S. Embassy of Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean and the OECS.
“We will always be on the lookout for creative and energetic people to join The Startup Huddle St. Lucia team. We are recruiting Volunteer Ambassadors in St. Lucia,” said Michelle N. Samuel, who is the Head Organizer of the program.
“It is undeniable that this program is important in St. Lucia, and we are looking for persons to help it expand and to make an impact on the lives of startups across the island.” You get to meet people, get to help them, gain experience for yourself, and even get the chance to travel. In November of each year, a ceremony is hosted where the Ambassador of the Year is selected based on performance and votes. This award comes with many perks!” Michelle explained.
Interested persons are encouraged to apply. Applications for this round of recruiting will close on December 23rd with the announcement of our new Ambassadors to be made on December 30th 2020.
