### Organizational Membership Duration
67+
68+
Organizational membership is defined per calendar year from January 1 to
69+
December 31.
70+
Organizations can join throughout the year with membership fees being reduced
71+
between August 1 and November 30 to 50% for the remainder of the year and
72+
reduced benefits as described below.
73+
Members joining on or after December 1 will be members the following year from
74+
January 1 with all benefits.
75+
76+
77+
### Benefits for Organizational Founding Members
78+
79+
Organizational Founding Members will be recognized with their logo on the US-RSE
80+
website, on conference material, and in annual reports.
81+
Organizational members benefit from opportunities to help shape US-RSE’s
82+
activities and strategic initiatives via quarterly meetings with the US-RSE
83+
Leadership including the Executive Director (ED), Community Manager (CM) and a
84+
subset of the elected Steering Committee (SC).
85+
86+
US-RSE’s organizational membership model has three tiers with different
87+
membership fees (see Table 3).
88+
As the second most visited page (after the homepage) on the website, the job
89+
board is highly successful, and Standard and Premier membership include
90+
highlighted job postings.
91+
Our annual conference is the flagship event for RSEs and allies in the United
92+
States, and Standard and Premier membership includes free registrations at the
93+
event (see Table 1 for the summary of benefits).
94+
95+
Organizations joining before August 1 in coming years receive all benefits for
96+
that year.
97+
For Standard and Premier members this includes benefits for the annual
98+
conference in the current calendar year.
99+
Organizations joining on or after August 1 but before December 1 pay half of the
100+
membership fee for the calendar year, but for Standard and Premier level will
101+
not receive conference-related benefits and will only receive half as many
102+
highlighted posts on the job board.
103+
They will have all other benefits including the remaining quarterly meetings
104+
with the US-RSE leadership group (see Table 2 for the summary of benefits).
105+
Organizations joining on or after December 1 receive the membership for the
106+
following year.
107+
108+
109+
### Annual General Meeting and Annual Report
110+
111+
US-RSE holds a virtual Annual General Meeting open to all individual and
112+
organizational members in December of each year.
113+
Organizational members will be acknowledged in the meeting.
114+
Organizational members will additionally receive an annual end-of-the-year
115+
report, which includes a directory of all organizational members.
116+
117+
118+
### US-RSE Organizational Membership is inclusive
119+
120+
US-RSE prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion through initiatives that
121+
cultivate a representative and inclusive RSE community.
122+
It aims at creating and maintaining a diverse workforce.
123+
The membership model is designed to give all interested organizations the
124+
possibility to become an organizational founding member if joining by
125+
