Become an Inaugural ALC Ambassador!
The leaders who shaped this network were once the next generation themselves: rising fellows, emerging voices, transatlantic relationships just beginning to take root. Ambassador Members honor that journey by stepping forward not just as donors, but as living proof of what this network makes possible. By investing at this level, they champion the next cohort of Marshall Memorial Fellows and Transatlantic Inclusion Leaders, fund local and regional gatherings that build lasting community, and help ensure that the Marshall Seminar remains the moment when the transatlantic alumni community comes together across generations. To give at this level is to say: GMF changed the trajectory of my leadership journey, and I am committed to ensuring the next generation has that same opportunity.
Includes everything under Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze plus:
The ability to champion an emerging transatlantic leader with scholarship support for a 2027 Marshall Memorial Fellow, ensuring the fellowship remains accessible to all
The ability to advance inclusive leadership across the Atlantic through scholarship support for a 2027 Transatlantic Inclusion Leaders Network fellow
Recognition as an alumni sponsor of the 2027 Marshall Seminar in France
An invitation to a private roundtable hosted by GMF leadership at the 2027 Marshall Seminar in France
