Help lead the count in your state.
NAR counts the whole Albanian diaspora — Albanians from Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Çamëria, the Arbëreshë, and the U.S.-born descendants of all of them. The work happens in places, through people the community already trusts. Regional Ambassadors are those people — named voices for the count in their state. Most states with significant Albanian-American populations seat two to three ambassadors who cover different cities, communities, and networks. The work is events, intros, table-hosts, and the quiet introductions that ads can't replace.

What the role is
Title
Regional Ambassador — one of NAR's named representatives in your state. Your name on the map, your bio on the public roster, alongside the other ambassadors covering your region.
Time
~5 hours per month. A handful of warm intros, occasional table-hosting at community events you'd attend anyway, a 30-min check-in call.
What you do
Open doors. Vouch. Bring a NAR registration table to events you're already running. Forward our outreach to your contacts. Tell us when something matters in your region.
What you don't
No fundraising obligations. No governance committee work. No fiduciary liability. No partisan activity connected to your NAR title — keep your political work in your other lanes.
Coordination
A monthly group call (optional) and a private Signal channel with the other ambassadors. Light. Real-time. Not bureaucratic.
Term
Open-ended. Step back any time, no questions. Ambassadors move on as life moves on; that's expected.
Why this works
The Albanian-American community in the U.S. is small, dense, and tightly networked. People sign up when someone they trust says it's worth signing up for. We can buy ads, and we will — but a lot of registration comes through introductions. Your reputation opens doors for the count in your state. The ambassador role is how we honor that and put your name on the public roster. Read the long-form thesis →
What you get
- ✓Your name and bio on the public ambassador roster — on the record
- ✓An ambassador kit — branded materials, registration links, talking points, an event-table setup
- ✓State-level data on registrants, growth, and gaps — only your state, on demand
- ✓Audience access for the community work you already lead in your region
- ✓A direct line to NAR's managing board for fast escalation
- ✓The founding-cohort identity — you helped build the count when it was 10,000, not 1,000,000
What we ask
- Reasonable response time — within a week on most asks; same-day if urgent
- Honesty about what's working and what isn't — feedback is part of the role
- That you tell us early if your circumstances change — a new board seat, a public political role, a major life event — so we can manage the disclosure
- That you don't use the NAR title for partisan political activity — keep that on your other letterheads
How to start

A quick intro call
20 minutes. Coffee or Zoom. Walk through what NAR needs in your state.

Bio + photo for the public roster. We send your kit.

You're live
Listed publicly. Ambassador channel access. First event date on the calendar.
No paperwork at this stage. The role is operational, not governance. We'll send a one-page Memorandum of Understanding when you formally agree — but the intro call is the real start.
