Maryann Powell, Chair of the Board for the Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau, awards Santa Monica Police Chief Timothy J. Jackman with the 'I am Santa Monica' certificate and declares him an official 'Santa Monica Ambassador' on Thursday, August 28, 2008.  'I am Santa Monica' is an interactive program designed to encourage and empower Santa Monica businesses and their employees to become better informed about Santa Monica and all it has to offer. The program consists of a 3-hour training workshop and fun bus tour of Santa Monica to inform and educate participants about Santa Monica.  Trained individuals become “Information Ambassadors” and are armed with a database of facts, figures, and “Did You Know” anecdotes about Santa Monica for use in customer interaction. The free workshops are offered weekly (Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and select Saturdays) and are held at the Santa Monica College Madison Camp.
