An Alignable Ambassador Alliance is a group for a larger metro area or region, bringing together small business owners from multiple communities in one place. Unlike your community group — which is assigned automatically based on your zip or postal code — an Alliance is something you choose to join. Each Alliance is run by at least one volunteer Alignable Ambassador.
How an Alliance Differs From a Community Group
Your community group is tied to your specific zip or postal code and you're placed in it automatically. An Alliance covers a broader metro area and can include many communities within it. You need to actively find and join your Alliance — it is not automatic.
What Happens in an Alliance
Alliances are active groups with both online and in-person activity:
- In-person events — local meetups and networking events hosted by your Alliance Ambassador
- Virtual events — online events open to anyone in the region
- Online discussions — ongoing conversations, Q&A, and connections within the group
Why Join Your Alliance
Active Alliance members gain visibility across a larger local area than a community group alone provides. Benefits include:
- Connections with small business owners across your whole metro region, not just your immediate zip code
- Opportunities to meet members in person through Ambassador-hosted events
- A stronger local presence through both in-person and virtual engagement
How to Find Your Alliance
Any Alignable member in the geographic area of an Alliance can join. To find yours, go to the Find Groups page and search for your city or metro area. Look for the Ambassador Alliance group for your region.
