When and where
The international network runs online sessions most months, including a monthly lightning talk series and topic groups. The Delaware Valley chapter lists no meeting dates.
We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.
You can join online.
Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join through the Join Now button on the membership page, or send a message through the chapter contact link to ask about the next networking event..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The chapter does not post its meetings on its page, so the first step is to ask. Most network events are one hour online sessions on Zoom, often at lunchtime, and the events page does not list a price for any of them.
Tips for your first visit
- Email the chapter first, since no chapter meeting is posted.
- Students and early career members pay the lowest dues, $20 a year.
- Ask about a dues grant if cost is a barrier; the site says grants are available.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Member only events need a membership login, and dues come before you can see them. The chapter lists no meeting dates, and the site does not say whether non-members can attend chapter events..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Low cost. Yearly dues: $20 for students and early career members, $40 for professionals. A sustaining membership is $5 a month. Dues grants are available for those who need help.
