Ambassadors Provide Connection and Value to OT Community

The NBCOT Ambassador Program is a volunteer initiative launched by NBCOT in 2020 to further promote its mission of serving the public interest by enhancing stakeholder outreach and strengthening stakeholder relationships.

The NBCOT Ambassador Program aims to:

  • Strengthen the relationship between NBCOT and its stakeholder group

    (candidates, certificants, regulators, educators, professional leaders/advocates, employers, etc.)
  • Increase the presences of NBCOT at the state level to promote information exchange

  • Enhance stakeholder access to NBCOT certification information and services
