Join Leadership Council
Out Network-Evanston is nothing without its leadership council. Leadership council meets once a month. Appointments are for two calendar years (with slight adjustments during the 20/21 inaugural years). The time obligation requires availability for a monthly planning meeting and some logistics and planning outside of monthly meetings. We are nothing without the coordination of our leaders. If you have questions don’t hesitate to email a current leadership council member or email us at outnetwork@northwestern.edu
General Membership
Northwestern’s Out Network-Evanston general membership is a low obligation opt-in community of faculty and staff across the Evanston campus. By joining you get access to our listserv to stay up-to-date on group events and have the ability to communicate to the entire network. The listserv is anonymous in that senders to the listserv cannot see would is on the list. Membership rosters are held by the Leadership Council. Information is not provided to campus offices or departments without your consent. Once you submit a request to join, you will be notified once you have been added to the listserv. Use the listserv to connect to colleagues or promote your work/events*!
*Please note that Out Network-Evanston will forward Out Network-Chicago events and vice versa, so there is no need to be on both.
