The process is based on human interaction so a set timeline does not exist. We encourage our partner organizations to attend as many networking events, workshops and seminars so they may engage with our alumni in-person (when we resume in person opportunities).
Absolutely not! The more referrals we can provide the greater impact we can make. We hope that you are so satisfied with the caliber of individuals that we refer that your organization will be open to recruiting more alumni for your board.
At this time, there is no guarantee about placement. AABLI facilitates connections amongst Alum and AABLI’s Partner Organizations. If a particular alum is not a great fit, AABLI is happy to support an organization with referring other candidates.
