summit assignment and participation
Ambassador Leaders has the sole discretion in all matters concerning summit assignment and participation and reserves the right to accept or decline any person with or without cause, or remove a program leader either prior to or during the summit for any reason and without obligation to that individual. Ambassador Leaders does not discriminate based on race, national origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or any other category protected by applicable law.
Upon the program leader’s acceptance of assignment, Ambassador Leaders incurs significant expenses arranging travel, accommodations and making other arrangements for the program leader’s participation. In the event of an emergency or unavoidable circumstances whereby the program leader cannot fulfill his/her assignment, all reasonable efforts must be made to notify the program office as soon as known and no later than 30 days prior to the departure date. Failure to notify the program office in a timely manner may affect future assignments. The program leader is not eligible for reimbursement of incurred expenses or any other financial liability without prior explicit authorization of a program office representative.
A program leader may participate in the same summit as his or her family member (spouse or domestic partner, if both are assigned to the same summit; or his/her child, niece, nephew, or grandchild, if the student is enrolled in the summit), as long as the family member’s participation does not interfere with the program leader’s ability to fully meet his/her responsibilities, including the on-site training. In order to provide the enrolled student who is a family member a full educational experience and not impact the experience of other students, the program leader may not be assigned as the family member’s teacher leader or roomed with the student.

As a program leader with Ambassador Leaders, you agree not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, including other program leaders, without prior written consent of an authorized representative of Ambassador Leaders, except to the extent required by law or compliance with any court order or governmental directive. Confidential Information shall not include any such information in the public domain.

The Work Product shall be treated as a "work made for hire" as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended (the "Copyright Act"), and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Ambassador Leaders and Ambassador Leaders shall be the sole author thereof within the meaning of the Copyright Act.
The Ambassador Leaders logo, branded attire, lanyards or other identifying marks cannot be used by the program leader on social media profiles or placed by the program leader on any merchandise without prior written approval from Ambassador Leaders.
