Our ambassadors

The Assessment Network Ambassadors are assessment practitioners with experience and knowledge of assessment from a wide variety of industries including teaching, awarding organisations, regulatory functions, professional associations and chartered institutes. They are volunteers who play a crucial role in enhancing and shaping The Assessment Network's membership community. By supporting and leading online discussions, and offering thought leadership they help to bring members of the community together and develop rich learning opportunities.

The goal of the community and our ambassadors is to elevate the professional profile and expertise of assessment practitioners through shared learning, community engagement opportunities and professional support.
