Apply for Committee Member
Partner Relations

You will support the Partner Relations (PR) board member in her search for new possible (business) partners with whom AFD Utrecht can establish a strategic or structural partnership. This means you will approach relevant people and organisations through (cold) aquisition, visiting companies or by attending networking events.

Together with the PR board member, you go to meetings with possible partners to search for shared opportunities and ensure that every partner receives personal attention. Partnerships will initially be focused on increasing AFD’s funds, however once these are established we can search for support in other fields.
