Application Form
Note from Victor: This application isn’t a test with ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. I’m looking for a sense of your perspective to ensure our Networking Room and club as a whole remains a high-value, curated space. Also to begin to learn how I might be able to help you in specific ways. If a particular question doesn’t apply to you, just be honest and say that you don’t have an answer. I review every application as a whole, not based on any single response. Thank you.
