MEMBERSHIP TIERS

Community membership is designed to enable members to engage with the community based on their interests, available time, and understanding of the NSLS. 

Members

This is a personal leadership role. Generally, we anticipate members' time to be about five or more minutes a day to enjoy the benefits of meetups and networking events, and general knowledge and shared information. Members are welcome to participate in Working Groups (WG).

Working Group (WG) Managers

This is a leadership role where 1-2 WG Managers oversee a WG. At launch, three WGs are available: Onboarding Experience, Career Growth, and Community Events. WGs are implemented and developed based on request, and community growth/needs.

Learning Guild Leadership (LGL)

This is a leadership role that includes WG Managers as well as executive project management roles that rotate throughout the annual cycle. This tier is responsible for executing and building upon the community-first governance, and the community’s big-picture growth and strategy.
