The Washington ambassador role
You run the room
One recurring debate night a month in Washington. You bring the venue and the energy; the format carries the rest.
We bring the machine
The Standard Debate format, a topic bank, judging playbook, the platform for signups and scoring, and a national league behind you.
It pays to build
Revenue share from tickets and memberships in your region, monthly stipends at activity milestones, and equity for ambassadors who build real cities.
The league today: 4 cities live, 250+ competitors and members, 12+ events run. Toastmasters built roughly 13,800 clubs on this model; debate is the sharper night out.
Why Washington now
