Meet our new Ambassador Advisory Council!
Please join us in celebrating the official launch of the Ambassador Advisory Council, the newest addition to our GCI Leadership team. These Ambassadors were selected for their commitment to the GCI mission and their continued involvement in the GCI community. We thank them for their energy and interest in advancing GCI’s endeavors. The council will be instrumental in preparing for the 5th year reunion, testing our new online platform, MyGCI, and coordinating outreach to our growing group of Ambassadors around the world.
