Requirements

The only requirement for joining a SIG is having a chapter membership! Guests can participate in one (1) SIG meeting per calendar year when invited by a current member. Become a GRATD member today and email support@richmondatd.org for more information!

Process

• Each SIG determines their own meeting schedule and location based on participant input.
• Meetings discuss a pre-determined topic and are facilitated by a member. Discussions include research related to the topic, the experiences of the participants, and questions that come up.
• SIG meeting dates and topics are promoted on the GRATD website, emails, and LinkedIn page.

Become a SIG Leader

Is a SIG you're interested in not currently meeting? Do you have another topic you're passionate about? Consider volunteering to lead a SIG!

SIG leaders are volunteers who commit five to seven (5-7) hours each month to monitoring and facilitating a SIG for fellow GRATD members who share in their interest.

***New in 2023*** SIG leaders receive a complimentary GRATD membership for their service. Email support@richmondatd.org for more information on the benefits of leading a SIG for our chapter. Duties include the following:
