Dress code will be given in advance for events and will be mandatory. If you do not follow the dress code you will be asked to change. If you do not change, you will be asked to leave, will not be allowed to participate and will lose an attendance point.

Flip Flops/Mini Skirts/Short shorts – Absolutely none of these! Skirts and shorts must follow the “finger tip” rule – no exceptions. No outfits should ever show your stomach (i.e. crop tops or low rise pants).

Body piercing & tattoos should not be visible. In the event there is already a piercing present, please use a “clear” insert or put a small band-aid over it. Pierced ears are exempt from this.

When dressing for an event keep in mind that you are representing not only the program, but the community and the chamber.

NO Gum chewing while at an event!

Any infraction of the above is grounds for sanctions or immediate dismissal and relinquishment of the Ambassadors title pursuant to Section 10 captioned “Relinquishment of Title.”

Personal belongings are not allowed on the float other than a bottle of water or those items needed for medical purposes.

Mandatory Events are all events that are scheduled at least seven days in advance and will count as one point for attendance.

Participation at events is vital to our program. ALL Ambassadors are expected to help set up and take down the float or any other decorating/preparations. No one will leave until all is complete.

Bonus Events are events that “pop up at the last minute” or less than seven days in advance. You will not be “docked” for non-attendance but can earn an additional attendance point for being there.

Movie Theater. Each Ambassador will be required to work one shift at the movie theater concession per quarter (for a total of four times during the year). Our time “slots” are the 2^nd and 4^th Thursday of each month. Laurie Anderson will be scheduling contact on this. Movie Theater is mandatory – not bonus.

Lates will be counted in your overall points for the year. We allow a 15 minute lee-way for tardiness. Two late attendances will dock one point for overall attendance. If you show up later than half-way through an Event this will count as a no-show.

Leaving early will be handled on an individual basis determined by a committee member and the parent. Advance notice of leaving early is mandatory and you must be picked up by a responsible adult. An Ambassador will NOT leave at any time without notifying a chaperone/committee member - for safety reasons!

Absence. Ambassadors must, within a reasonable time, notify the committee if they are going to be unable to attend a scheduled event.

Travel. We will have a designated meeting place for traveling to events and only a maximum of three vehicles attending. We will be carpooling and assigning chaperones for events on a schedule.

Your scholarship award is based on attendance. The Ambassador will maintain at least 70% participation in events in order to maintain title and eligibility for scholarship/savings bond award.

Any unexcused, unapproved or invalid late appearances are ground for sanctions or immediate dismissal and relinquishment of the Ambassadors title pursuant to Section 10 captioned “Relinquishment of Title.”

No physical contact of any type with boyfriends at events.

Any infraction of the above is grounds for sanctions or immediate dismissal and relinquishment of the Ambassadors title pursuant to Section 10 captioned “Relinquishment of Title.”

Keep in mind that it IS hot in the summer and it is COLD in the winter – dress appropriately to avoid complaining.

Absolutely NO whining or complaining or “are we done yet?” “Can’t we go home” “this is boring” etc.

Insensitivity to other girls in the court will not be tolerated. No one is better than the other.

Talking on cell phones is not permitted while at an event. If you have a cell phone it must be turned off and stored in your crown box or purse.

Abusive or profane language shall not be tolerated. Ambassadors are required to act with discretion at all times.

If inappropriate behavior is displayed the Ambassador may be asked to leave and will lose an attendance point.

Behavior outside Kanabec County Ambassador Program events also reflects on the program and may be grounds for sanctions or immediate dismissal and relinquishment of the Ambassadors title pursuant to Section 10 captioned “Relinquishment of Title.”

1^st and 2^nd “warning” - This will involve the chaperone/committee member and the Ambassador discussing the infraction. If there is a disagreement the full committee will make the final determination.

The third warning will involve a meeting with the Ambassador and her parent/guardian. A decision will be made at that time as to the status of the Ambassadors Title.

If any member of the Kanabec County Ambassador Program disobeys any of the terms, obligations and responsibilities set forth in this Code of Conduct and Contract, the Kanabec County Ambassador Program Committee reserves the right, at their discretion, to immediately dismiss the member, immediately remove her title or issue a lesser sanction to the Ambassador to include, but not limited to, forfeiture of the Ambassador’s educational scholarship/savings bond, private admonishment form the Kanabec County Ambassador Program Committee, public admonishment and/or a written warning from the Kanabec County Ambassador Committee. Any member that is dismissed as an Ambassador shall immediately return all Committee property to the Kanabec County Ambassador Committee and the educational scholarship/savings bond shall be forfeited.
