NEEDED – Education Ambassador Auditors for CCAR Classes!

The Education Committee coordinates countless volunteer hours every month by monitoring Education MCE/SAE and designation courses held at CCAR. Monitors work at the registration desk, ensure students are in the room during class, help to keep order in the classroom, and assist the instructor as needed.

With so many opportunities to monitor classes at CCAR, the Education Committee is looking for Ambassador-Monitors to help. As the saying goes, “Many hands make light work.” You do not have to be a member of the Education Committee to help with this task. Remember: A benefit of monitoring is the knowledge and education received from sitting in on the class.

If, you’re interested in becoming an Education Ambassador-Monitor, send an e-mail to:

Education@ccar.net Subject: WE NEED YOU!
