Next steps:

I have read the Frequently-Asked-Questions about partnering with Leadership Louisville Center (https://www.leadershiplouisville.org/who-we-are/how-we-help-nonprofits/faq-about-working-with-leadership-louisville-center/") and understand that if chosen as a finalist for a Community Acceleration Team I will need to attend a meeting to pitch my proposal. Dates will be provided upon selection.*

I agree to the above.

All applications will be reviewed by graduates of the Community Acceleration Team programs. You will be contacted by a Leadership Louisville Center staff member after the next application selection committee meeting. The committee will review applications and make a final determination as to which Community Acceleration Team is most appropriate. If selected by the committee, you must still make an in-person pitch to the class in order to be paired with a team, and not all applications are ultimately accepted. It might be several weeks before you hear back from us, but feel free to check in on your status at any time by emailing jlloydtriplett@leadershiplouisville.org.*

I agree to the above.

A representative from the organization must be available by phone on Feb. 28th between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to potentially field a question from the CAT committee during their selection meeting. Not all applicants will receive a call and calls will not last more than 15 minutes.*

I agree to the above and my phone number is below.

Phone number where I can be reached on Feb. 28th between 12 - 2 p.m. if necessary.*
