Potential Partner Preferences

Welcome to the Potential Partner Preferences Survey! This is a space for your chapter to share your interests and preferences about your future partnership with Tess and Nourish staff. The information we get from this survey will allow us to direct you toward potential partner organizations that could be a good match for your chapter's unique culture and skills.

Please be aware that, as much as we try to take your preferences into consideration, we cannot promise that you will be paired with a partner that fits all of your expressed preferences and we thank you for maintaining your flexibility and positive outlook on the process.

Please submit this survey by Monday, September 12 (semester schools) or Monday, October 10 (quarter schools). Tess will contact you by the following week to talk about next steps for contacting potential partners.

Please email Tess, our International Partnerships Coordinator, at tess@nourish.org for more questions.
