Step 1: Log in to the HBA website
Step 2: Click the “manage opportunities page” link from the notification email:
- Alternatively, you can visit your regional member community and click on "volunteer" under settings (you will be required to log in if you are not alredy):
Step 3: From the landing page with list of all opportunities, find the opportunity for which you received an email and click on the link next to “awaiting approval”:
Step 4: Find the applicant that just applied (if there are multiple for that opportunity) and click “view application”:
Step 5: From the window that pops up with the application, select all relevant text, right-click to "print" and save as PDF:
Step 6: Send the application to the appropriate individual(s) (for example, this is a chapter DAL role, and the chapter EC appoints chapter DALs; full list of who appoints who here).We recommend setting a reminder to follow-up for at least one week later. I have the text below saved as a signature so I don't have to retype each time:
Please see the application attached for the {chapter/region and role here}. If you have not already, please set up a time to conduct an interview for this position and let us know at your earliest convenience if {she/he} is appointed.
Step 7: Mark the application approved (or rejected based) on the response from the approving parties. Approval in the system is what provides access to:
- Communities associated with the role
- Reports and functions via their HBA profile
- Adds them to the board page associated with the role
Note: clicking "approve selected" will send an email to the applicant with the information below. Choosing "reject selected" does not notify them - please be sure a member of the appropriate approving team follows up with anyone not selected for the role they applied for.
