Commission advances ambassador program idea, seeks clear scope and possible library partnership
Summary
The commission reviewed a proposed ambassador program to keep former commissioners and community volunteers engaged, discussed partnering with the Hutto Public Library for program housing and outreach, and asked staff to return with a fuller program description and possible budget implications.
Commissioners discussed a draft ambassador program designed to keep experienced volunteers engaged after they step off the commission. The Chair described the program as a way former commissioners or other interested residents "could still be ambassador program, which means that they would be recruiting," helping with listening posts, outreach and focused working groups. Commissioners emphasized the need to clearly define ambassador duties, reporting expectations and whether the role would carry any budget for outreach or materials.
The idea includes a proposed partnership with the Hutto Public Library to host program information and recruitment materials; commissioners asked staff to reshare a more complete write-up and to draft clear role descriptions. Commissioner Lim Dulce said the program likely needs a budget allocation for visibility items, stating, "I do think it needs a budget, and the budget is primarily t shirts." Staff will return with a refined proposal and a recommended budget line for the next meeting.
