- Once the application window is closed, the 10-12 member ATIF Screening Committee begins to review applications. In a series of steps, we score them, then discuss them and select a group, usually 6, which we invite as semifinalists to present live to the Screening Committee.
- These presentations are 10 minutes long, with 15 minutes of Q&A. They typically occur about 10 days prior to the Member Meetings. We expect the CEO of the company to present, with other members of management in attendance.
- From these semifinalists, the finalists will be chosen. Typically we select 3 to present to the full membership.
- For each finalist a member of ATIF is selected to conduct high level of due diligence during the period between selection as a finalist and presentation to the ATIF membership. Managements are encouraged to give great cooperation to these members.
There is no cost to apply, be screened, or present to ATIF.
