Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Use the Get Involved form on the website to say whether you want to volunteer, write for the journal, join the conference, or help another way. Or become a member: $50 a year for professionals, $20 a year for students..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Most of the group is volunteers, so newcomers usually take part by helping with a project, writing for the blog, or helping run an event. The 18th annual conference was a one-day event on March 26, 2026, from 8:30 am to 4 pm, with breakfast and lunch provided and a reception afterward. The conference page does not state the ticket cost.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the events page for the next talk and whether it is open to the public.
  • Say which area you want to help with in the Get Involved form, so the group knows where to place you.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Membership, volunteer and newsletter routes are listed publicly with a sign up form, and the group describes itself as mostly volunteer run. Talks are listed, but the page does not say which are open to the public..
