Has anyone out there ever had Community Ambassadors?

Has anyone out there ever had Community Ambassadors? A select few people who have lived at the community for a while who help market the community and help plan resident events and such? I’ve thought about it here and also using them as building ambassadors. I have a unique building set up and we do valet trash and quite often we hear of people leaving trash in the hallways overnight. So the thought was to have them check the buildings at night and notify us if someone has trash out. Thoughts on this? Pros and cons? Thank you!

We had a Town Mayor who baked and served coffee on Saturdays. She secretly filled me in on things happening at night, it all went South after a while. She started asking people to get out of the pool if she thought they were in the water too long. If she got mad at the staff she would repeat things spoken behind the scenes. It’s a sweet idea but came with some headaches.

Ed Trevino I'm having the same problem. People are scared of her and her crew

Mona Sanders Ha! Mine was great, even wore a funny Mayor hat, delivered packages and was well liked for a while. Then residents knew her as the snitch. She didn’t have management experience and def did some cringy things. Undoing it was hard and awkward.

Ed Trevino yeah I haven't even got to that conversation yet not looking forward to that

Shouldn’t valet trash already be notifying you who is leaving trash out ?

Marcel Thomas we do valet trash during business hours

I haven’t but like the idea. However the concerns a few others have stated are worth noting. Maybe instead of selecting one person, send out a newsletter and ask for any volunteers and do a rotation. (Or reach out directly to who you think would be a good fit). This way if a resident isn’t working out, you know that it’s only temporary and don’t have to go through the awkwardness of severing ties should they go power crazy.

The dynamic of having residents tattle on other residents doesn’t seem to go well.

Do you mean a designated tattle tale?

We use Apartment Life

Wow - that's actually a bit comical
