The DASCIN Ambassador Program is designed for recognized thought leaders in data science, automation, and AI governance who are committed to advancing industry best practices. All applications are carefully reviewed by the DASCIN Board to assess qualifications and expertise. Preference is given to professionals with a proven track record in organizations actively involved in data governance, ethical AI, and emerging technologies.
Typical activities that are performed by DASCIN ambassadors include:
- Create content and resources that support DASCIN’s mission of promoting ethical AI, data governance, and responsible automation.
- Advocate for the professionalization of the data science industry by sharing best practices and industry knowledge.
- Represent DASCIN at local and international conferences, workshops, and industry events.

The time commitment varies based on the interest and engagement level of each Ambassador.

The Ambassador role is designed to be a mutually beneficial opportunity – those who invest more time will gain greater visibility and impact within the community. All Ambassadors are initially appointed for a period of three years.
No, being a DASCIN Ambassador is a voluntary role reserved for a select group of individuals. While DASCIN may cover specific out-of-pocket expenses for approved activities, the role itself is unpaid and entirely voluntary.
DASCIN evaluates the number of Ambassadors per country on a case-by-case basis. While we aim to maintain a limited number of Ambassadors per country, larger nations like the United States or China may have multiple Ambassadors to represent different regions. Additionally, the level of data governance maturity and AI adoption in a specific market is a key factor in determining the number of Ambassadors appointed.
