BECOME AN ADVOCATING AMBASSADOR


BECOME AN ADVOCATING AMBASSADOR: SAVE YOUR SPORT, SAVE YOUR TRAILS, SAVE YOUR WAY OF LIFE

By Del Albright

If you want to protect the things you love—your trails, your freedom, your faith, your family, or your fun—it’s time to step up and become an Advocating Ambassador for your cause. Whether it's motorized recreation, your church, your kids' school, or your political views, the time is now.

What Is an Advocating Ambassador?

Let’s break it down using Wikipedia's definitions:

  • Advocate: A believer, an activist, someone who promotes or campaigns for something.

  • Ambassador: A diplomat, an emissary, a spokesperson.

So, our version of an Advocating Ambassador is this:

A committed spokesperson who believes in and promotes a cause with diplomacy, passion, and purpose—often as a volunteer.

What Does That Look Like in Real Life?

At meetings, on the trail, around the campfire, or in your daily routine—it means showing up, speaking out, and making your cause part of your lifestyle.

It’s about not letting the moment slip by.
It’s about choosing action over silence.
It’s about creating change instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

The Shortcuts: Be. See. Three.

Use this simple formula to stay on track:

✅ BE

  • Be involved.

  • Be trained up and knowledgeable.

  • Be present and committed.

  • Be bold enough to lead the conversation when your issue is on the table.

👀 SEE

  • See the big picture and the long-term vision.

  • See the “little wins” you can earn each day.

  • See where you need help—and seek it out.

  • See how local actions ripple into bigger change.

🔁 THREE

Think about or act on your cause three times a day:

  • Breakfast: As you read the news, ask yourself—what can I do today to move the needle? (Maybe write a letter, send an email, share a post.)

  • Lunch: Reassess—are you following through?

  • Dinner: Reflect on what you accomplished. Pat yourself on the back. Plan your next move.

So whether you’re protecting a beloved trail, supporting your church, leading your family, or standing firm in your beliefs, become an Advocating Ambassador.
Be. See. Three.
Then ACT.

All the best,
Del
