SENIOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP & FAIR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

This workshop day is targeted for students in Grades 9-12, looking to improve their leadership skills, public speaking capabilities, and get involved within the community. Join us at the Glencoe Train Station on September 20th from 12:00pm – 4:00pm for the workshop, and qualified individuals interested in running as the Glencoe Fair Ambassador are invited to stay from 4:00pm – 5:00pm to utilize the skills they learned throughout the day in front of our judges in the form of a brief interview, and 2 impromptu questions. The Glencoe Fair Ambassador will be chosen on the 20th, and officially announced during the Fair on Friday, September 25th. Pre-registration details will be posted on our social media, and will close on September 17th.

The Glencoe Fair Ambassador Program provides an opportunity for young adults between the ages of 18-24 to get involved in their community while also gaining valuable skills! Our goal is for participants to come out of this experience feeling more confident in public speaking, networking, introducing themselves, interviewing, and conducting themselves professionally.

The ambassador will spend their year attending events within the Glencoe community such as the fair, and within the greater community of agricultural societies at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Convention (Feb. 18-20, 2027) and at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) Ambassador of the Fairs Competition. Attending these events allows the ambassador the time and space to improve upon a variety of professional and personal skills in several environments, as well as the incredible experience of meeting fellow fair ambassadors and agricultural society members from across Ontario.
