18 Q: Who is eligible to apply? A: Applicants must meet our general eligibility standards ( Be a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit Be registered in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State Be domiciled in Louisiana (or have a chapter domiciled here)

19 Q: What makes an application stand out? A: A great application: Has a realistic, defined scope of work with clear deliverables (an end product ) in mind Is backed by a strong, flexible leader who is involved and willing to pitch in Meets and organizational need (not solving an inconvenient issue)

20 Q: What are the greatest lessons learned from last year s applicants? A: Make sure staff and team members are ready to implement and willing to give the time. Make sure your board is behind the program. Be flexible and trust your BCBSLA Fellows. (But remember, you are the client.) Set project milestones and deadlines along the way. Communication is key.

21 Q: What other tips do you have for us? A: We typically avoid broad, open-ended strategic planning projects it s too resource intensive for volunteers (but check with LANO). As a CEO/ED, are you asking to give you a tool to move the organization forward, or solve a problem? Picture in your mind the physical thing that our employee consultants will hand over to you at the end of this ride. That will keep you focused.
