The Erie Ambassador program is designed to give community professionals a “behind the scenes” look at where Erie has been historically and what’s taking place to move Erie forward into the future.

The 10-week course gives an inside look at numerous local entities that play a significant role in Erie’s revitalization and resurgence, as well as some historical aspects to show how far we have come as a community. It will allow participants to hear directly from the source(s) about the work happening in a variety of industries to position Erie for growth and prosperity into the future.

These sessions will take place at various locations around Erie County, every Wednesday from March 15th - May 17th. Times will vary based on individual session content. Please note full details below.
