2025 Boundless Ambassador
2025 Boundless Ambassador
Ainsley Cheshire, the 2025 Boundless Ambassador.
Who is the Boundless Ambassador?
Each year, the BJAC directors hand-pick the Boundless Ambassador, a North American agility junior handler who embodies BJAC’s core values, including–but not limited to–good sportsmanship, kindness, inclusion, grit, and determination. The Boundless Ambassador is a junior handler who we believe is capable of changing the culture of agility for the better and deserves support in doing so.
This prestigious program offers the Ambassador a one-year contract during which a sizable portion of their competition/training fees are covered by BJAC. He/she/they also receive(s) the opportunity to sit in on/participate in BJAC Board meetings, allowing for the opportunity to develop valuable connections within the North American agility community and beyond and to receive mentorship from both the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board. The Boundless Ambassador is also given the opportunity to share their own ideas with the Board to improve North American Junior Agility, and to potentially have those ideas funded and brought to life by BJAC. They also receive a prepaid spot at one BJAC camp of their choosing during their year-long contract.
