Process Timeline.  (1) The Affiliate Program Committee will use the materials provided by the candidate to give a recommendation to the APPM faculty on the case and request the APPM Colloquium Chair to schedule as soon as reasonably possible a presentation by the candidate.  (2) The candidate's application materials are shared with the APPM faculty.  (3) At the APPM faculty meeting that follows the Colloquium presentation, the candidate's case will be discussed and an electronic vote held after the meeting, requiring a majority of APPM faculty to approve for the candidate to become an affiliate.  (4) The candidate will then be informed of the vote outcome. A successful candidate will receive an official appointment letter from APPM that identifies her/his privileges and responsibilities as an affiliate faculty member (see link for Maintain Affiliate Status on the right).
