How to Declare Membership
Everyone who identifies as a CSLN member is encouraged to declare their membership. There is no membership fee at this time. Instead, members contribute their time and talent and receive benefits in the following broad categories: tangible communication and networking, the people, partnerships and collaboration, growth and education, and collective voice/in-between space. See the full membership packet for details and examples about how members have previously engaged in those categories.
Steps to becoming a member:
- Attend at least one CSLN meeting or activity
- Review the CSLN New Member Packet
- Request a Membership Declaration Form
- Submit your completed form with photo!
