Team Brandon

About Team Brandon Ambassadors

The Ambassador Program is best described as a network of champions providing communications links between Brandon and the worldwide business community. Through the program we are breaking down barriers in national and international markets and educating others about what Brandon has to offer.  Ambassadors can make the connections between opportunities and Economic Development Brandon that ultimately contribute to economic diversification and development of Brandon as a significant contributor in the Manitoba economy.

Mission

Proactively identify companies outside Manitoba who are considering opening, re-locating or expanding their business.

Goals

  • Engage Brandon's business and professional community as business recruiters.
  • Generate referrals to companies considering relocation or start-up and connect those business opportunities with Economic Development staff.
  • Demonstrate that generating business leads for the city is easy!
  • To further communicate economic development initiatives to the community.
  • Be the catalyst to engage the community in actively promoting Brandon.


Economic Development Brandon will:

  • Empower our Ambassadors' networks to promote business opportunities by providing the tools and resources required to support the message, You Belong in Brandon.
  • Transfer knowledge not simply information. 
  • Keep the ambassadors aware of relevant economic development activities.
  • Promptly follow-up on referrals, suggestions or ideas.
  • Maintain an interactive web site where tools, logos and fact sheets can be easily found.
