It is the first day of the window and the applicant is ready to talk. The recruiter is the first to hear from them and they have a lot of questions about cost, university partnership, and post corps relationships.

It is going to be so important to identify the Ms & Bs of Alicia's "why" to go to Pittsburgh and to participate in the fellowship. Can use these to draw out the underlying motivations of the expereience and potentially draw lines of similarities between the two

# data[].attributes.body
Need to establish contact to find out what the reservations are about going to Austin, what she is excited about, etc. Connecting with CCC that recommended she apply would be a good step

# data[].attributes.body
RM - schedule a time to meet with Alicia before region does to provide some context. Also consult CCC and find out why they recommended she apply. Re-read "Why TFA" statement to identify some levers. It also says Austin, TX was HP1 - why did she put that down instead of Pittsburgh? Why did she want to be placed in Pittsburgh?  Find out a bit more about fellowship - can she do something similar during the corps?
Connect with an alum.

# data[].attributes.body
- Make contact with the CCC - what about her made her think she would be a strong CM - what relationship, what about the offer, are you in similar classes/groups?

- Make connections between M's/B's - why did she put that down instead of Pittsburgh? Why did she want to be placed in Pittsburgh?  Find out a bit more about fellowship - can she do something similar during the corps?

- Tap into alumni board power - and also try to find an alum that participate in fellowship

- Why was Austin in the priority? Preparing to make connection between access conversations with elementary students (making connection between leadership)

# data[].attributes.body
- Report on conversation with CCC (building out relationship will help dictate our next move)

- Try to connect with this individual in-person to build an real relationship with them to get them on the hook

- Tell me more about the interaction with the alumni board and AA

- Update MISS with information and Slack/phone call to reevaluate our strategy

# data[].attributes.body
- Connection to Austen alum/corps members
- What regional opportunities are available that may be aligned to the fellowship offer
- What connections/communication attempts have been made

# data[].attributes.body
- When do you plan to do initial outreach to applicant and how?

- Updates on connection - was it successful? If no, what did you do as a folllow-up and when will you try to reconnect?

- Did you provide the applicant resources to learn about logistics (ie. training, certification, housing)?

- Do you plan on connecting them with a CM or alum? If so who and why (do not want to connect to same type of person)? Also, when will this introduction take place?

- What barriers came up during talk that I can address as RM?

- Update MISS after every interaction

# data[].attributes.body
Really appreciated our small group's conversation!

- Getting very clear asks into MISS and on Slack on both ends will help to move strategy along

- One person "leading" the strategy for a candidate so there is a clear distinction in responsibilities - this avoids over-communication and misaligned messages

# data[].attributes.body
- From the RT side, it's nice getting the perspective of the region and what they need from us to make Confirmation successful.
- My biggest take away from this is keeping communication open and being very specific: Who will be the main owner, what specific questions will we ask the applicant to uncover M/B and what questions do we have for the region that only they could address vs what questions RT will ask. Also be specific in terms of how you will communicate and when.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a great learning opportunity! It really helped clarify how the RT and regional teams work together during confirmation.

- Understanding what makes a region "special" can help make the case

- direct asks are helpful to everyone
