Knowledge Community and Affinity Group Structure
Each Knowledge Community and Affinity Group should have two co-chairs leading the group. The leadership structure may also include a secretary, events manager, and treasurer positions. The leadership team is nominated and selected by members of the group to serve a term of one year, beginning in January. Each group is encouraged to develop a leadership pipeline in order that there is a natural continuation of leadership and built-in mentoring of incoming leaders.
