What Classifies/defines the actions of an Airgun Ambassador?

Hello,
Would like everyone's opinion on the definition of an airgun ambassador?
Volunteering, Ideas, participation, helping other shooters, promoting other ideas, etc.
In my opinion an airgun ambassador represents airgun shooting sports and hobbies via responsibly sharing experiences from his/her own interests (competing, sharing target shooting cards or photos or targets, hunting photos or videos, or simply allowing someone at a range or in shared space to ask questions, observe, and maybe shoot your airgun). Discussing hunting laws, advantages, and/or benefits of hunting with airguns as opposed to traditional firearms or archery equipment is another facet that comes to mind. In sum, an airgun ambassador represents airgun shooting sports and educates others about aspects of airguns and airgun activities that are new to them thus positively and responsibly promoting the sport and hobby to a broader audience. This is my opinion and I certainly am not trying to confine how we represent airguns to the public strictly to the aforementioned parameters.

Every time I go to my gun club with airguns I invariably get asked many question about what I'm shooting by the other shooters. Usually it's the lack of noise or watching me work the break barrel that brings them over. I find out without fail that they are clueless about current modern airgunning. Really get the questions when I plop the SCBA tank on the back bench. They just don't know about this stuff in my shooting world. Same situation with my reenacting friends. When we get together for work days or parties I bring a bunch of air guns. Some of them are lifelong PB shooters and they are clueless regarding how accurate current air guns are as well as the variety of them. For some reason my reenacting friends find the replica guns of particular interest. Finally I have trained about a dozen people to shoot over the past couple of years. I always start with an airgun.

This makes me one?. We should all share our hobby in a positive way within our respective circles.

Claire West who owns Air Arms, along with her sisters, is one I consider an airgun embassador for the different field target sports in the UK.
From What I have been told She is a CLASS ACT. I wish she was over here, I would do my best to get her to an Extreme FT night match. Truth be known, Some American Industry leaders could stand to find a little class. Some have the Hilary disease, Say what they need to say when they need to say it, BUT NEVER BACK IT UP> "lip service"
