 To
become an ESA:
- Send a confirmation via email to Elizabeth Nuckols, Youth
Education Specialist at ECHO at enuckols@echovermont.org
to ensure that your school has an identified ECHO School Ambassador
(ESA). For questions, call 802-864-1848 x120.
- ECHO will update the ESA electronic list that is accessed
by our Front Desk Guest Services staff including any changes
to the ESA phone number or email address.
- The ECHO Membership benefit will run September 1 – August
31 to align with the school year.
- For the ESA’s ECHO Membership to be processed, an electronic
or phone call identifying the beneficiaries must be received
so that confirmation of the ESA’s name can be made at the front
desk and the beneficiaries recorded in the ESA database.
- To receive the ECHO Membership card, the beneficiaries may
either have the card processed on their next visit to ECHO or
have the card mailed directly.
Please Note: ECHO School Ambassadors DO NOT need to plan
or register trips for other teachers. Your role is to be a knowledgeable
support for teachers as they plan field trips to ECHO and to act
as our liaison for program opportunities. Thanks again! |
