Affiliates
An APDD Affiliate helps expand awareness, participation, capability, and opportunity throughout the APDD environment.
Affiliates may introduce individuals, organizations, businesses, projects, communities, and opportunities that align with APDD goals, services, systems, applications, and infrastructure.
Affiliates are not required to be developers, marketers, salespeople, or technical specialists.
Affiliates participate by helping connect people with useful capability.
The Affiliate position exists for individuals who wish to actively contribute to the growth, capability, opportunity, and long-term success of both themselves and the broader APDD ecosystem.
As the APDD ecosystem grows, develops, and creates new opportunities, participating Affiliates may also benefit from the value, capability, visibility, and opportunities that emerge from those efforts.
The Affiliate position is intended not only for individuals who already possess demonstrated capability, but also for those who are actively developing capability through participation, learning, contribution, experience, and constructive engagement.
Affiliate status is not merely a title.
It is a maintained position of responsibility, participation, and demonstrated capability.
