Eligibility for HV Associate

Selection of HV Associates is a collaborative effort between the HVI Board and fellow Associates. All alumni of Human Venture Leadership programs are welcome to become a member of the Associates group. Becoming an Associate is based on both self-authorization and an acceptance process. HV Associates can recommend alumni to be considered while HVL alumni may state their interest personally.

Interested alumni are asked to review the Associate description and key commitments and decide if they meet the qualifications. Additional information about the HV Associate role is available by request.

Candidate Associates will state their interest to a member of the Associate group or send an email to info@humanventure.com. They will be connected to a HVI board member who will arrange a conversation/interview with a selection team to confirm the level of preparation and commitment required of Associates.

Acceptance as a HV Associate gives access to Associate specific programming and mutual learning community.
