Welcome to Our 2026 Ambassadors! 

A Wealth of Skills and Perspectives

Our ambassadors bring with them an inspiring mix of skills that will enrich the program. Many have strong foundations in education and professional development, helping us build capacity and share knowledge across the profession. Others bring expertise in innovation and sustainability, ensuring RIMPA Global continues to lead with fresh ideas and forward-thinking approaches. We also welcome ambassadors whose strengths lie in member and community engagement as well as advocacy and business development, strengthening our networks and expanding our influence.
Together, these capabilities create a powerful blend of experience, creativity and passion which means our new ambassadors are well-placed to take RIMPA projects forward with confidence.

Looking Ahead

Over the coming months, ambassadors will connect with one another and select their projects in line with the RIMPA Global strategic pillars. While specific projects will be confirmed in the future, we know this team will bring energy, commitment and fresh ideas to every opportunity.

Many of our new ambassadors will also be attending RIMPA Live 2025. This will be a wonderful opportunity to introduce yourself, say hello and hear firsthand about the perspectives they are bringing into the program.
