How to Become a Co-Chair

If you are interested in supporting this working group through contribution of the co-chair activities- please reach out to any of the current co-chairs. We hope to better define this process in future.

Review Periods

Once per year, we'll check in with our team members (both active and on break) to ensure they are feeling supported, and to check if they will remain active on our team for the coming months. If we do not hear back from members at check-in time, they will be transitioned to an emeritus role.

As of this writing, the next review period will be May 2027.
