Each Chapter is led by a one Ambassador. The Ambassador represents his/her community by leading a team and organizing the chapter team with the support of Aging2.0 headquarters in San Francisco.

• Attend a 1-hour team call each month to receive updates from HQ and provide a short summary of accomplishments and upcoming plans
• Lead team in organizing (minimum) one event per quarter, based on themes and guidelines put forth by HQ
• Mentor new Ambassadors (up to 2 per year) when called upon by HQ
• Submit quarterly metrics report (may delegate to team member, but it is the Ambassador's responsibility to ensure it is submitted by deadline).

First and foremost, there is intrinsic value in being a leader of this social movement. As you know, this is an unpaid position and those that take on this responsibility must be both passionate about the greater Aging2.0 mission and open to volunteering time and talent. Ambassadors may leverage the community, benefit from Aging2.0 brand affiliation (aka – list your role on LinkedIn!) and also receive exclusive access to:

• Online Platform
• Discounts and exclusive offers within Aging2.0

Unfortunately, there can only be ONE Ambassador per city. Ambassadors can organize team responsibilities however they prefer, but there must only be one point of contact for HQ and one official 'face' of the Chapter.

No, Aging2.0 only distributes License Agreements to individuals. However, a Chapter can be supported by a company / organization (e.g. committing to long term sponsorship/resources).

It varies, but on average, an Ambassador spends 10-20 hours per month on meetings, planning, community building and event management. Of course, some weeks / months will be busier than others – and veteran Ambassadors / Chapter teams generally need less time than new ones.

Each chapter is expected to host ONE event per quarter (minimum). Generally, only one event per year is mandated, and the rest of the events that year can be determined (type of event, topic, etc) by the Chapter team. An example might be: HQ asks Chapters to host one *Global Startup Search event that year, but the rest of the events can be at chosen by the Chapter (2-Pint-0, Fireside Chat, Panel Event, etc.).

No. If you apply to lead a Chapter in a city that we already have a Chapter in, we will direct you to the existing Ambassador. When their term ends, you may apply to take over as Ambassador in that city.

Generally, each license is city-specific. We occassionaly accept regional or country-wide Chapters on a case by case basis. 

No, Aging2.0 HQ will create accounts for Chapters when approved.

Aging2.0 Chapters host many different types of events, including but not limited to:

• Networking / 2-Pint-0 Happy Hours

We require each Chapter to host (minimum) 1 event per quarter. Exact schedule is not mandated. There is an annual pitch competition in Q2, when all Chapters host a pitch event. Besides Q2, Ambassadors and Chapter teams can determine the type and topic of the events they host.

Every team is different and ultimately the Ambassador can structure the team however they like. Typically, a team consists of:

• Ambassador* – face of the chapter, manager extraordinaire, strong communicator. Only one Ambassador per Chapter is allowed.
• Events* – organization genius, loves logistics, pulls the pieces together behind the scenes to ensure every event is flawlessly run
• Publicity* – gets the word out on social media, master of flyers and promo emails, may even talk to local press about upcoming events

Yes, Aging2.0 requires each Ambassador to sign a license agreement in order to represent the Aging2.0 brand. The license agreement lasts for 12 months and is renewable. Once your application has been reviewed and accepted, you will have the opportunity to review the agreement, which includes standard language around brand protection, finance details, non-disclosure and liability details.

There is no fee to apply. Chapters are responsible for funding events (including venue rental, food and beverage, any speaker fees or printing costs) through sponsorship and/or ticket sales. Chapters are required to process all sponsorship payments through HQ via the Aging2.com dashboard and as a licensing fee, 10% of all sponsorship revenue and ticket sales remains with HQ, while 90% goes to the Chapter.

Event Sponsors contribute funds to a Chapter for one specific event. Chapter Sponsors contribute funds up front for the events throughout the year. Partners donate supplies or in-kind services (venue, food and beverage, etc), not money. Sponsorship pricing and benefits can be determined on a Chapter by Chapter basis, and HQ provides suggested guidelines to active Ambassadors.
