- All ambassadors score all apps in advance of the board meeting. One ambassador takes the lead for each application and introduces the application and explains their scores for each area. Then there is discussion amongst all ambassadors and, if necessary, a vote. There is a focus in the discussion on identifying potential support needs to enhance both the application and delivery. E.g. peer support and signposting.
