The RSF Community Engagement Standing Group focuses our community’s efforts on events, training, and mentorship under one dedicated group. We explore new opportunities and current topics of interest as well as continuing the events and calls that are such a large part of our community’s interaction.
Meetings & Documentation
The CEG typically meets twice a month as a working group to fulfill our charge and plan event content, and once per month to lead the monthly RSF Community Call. Community Call recordings and agendas are available here, and the CEG running agenda for each year will be linked below.
