The goal of the membership process is to ensure alignment between the community’s vision, values, and mission and the individual’s vision and values. The membership process occurs in stages, each stage gradually increasing the rights and responsibilities for both the community and the individual. This allows both members and the community to “try on” different levels of engagement, with opportunities to evaluate the match along the way.
