All Gold membership benefits plus:  

The leaders who shaped GMF’s alumni network were themselves once the next generation: rising fellows and emerging voices whose 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 the 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 multi-generational transatlantic alumni community comes together. To give at this level acknowledges that GMF changed the trajectory of your leadership journey, and that you are committed to ensuring the next generation has that same opportunity.  

All Platinum membership benefits plus:
