How to get involved in R-Ladies Seattle

1. Attend an event. See the meetup.com page for upcoming events.

2. Speak at an event. Fill out the speaker interest form, or get in contact with an organizer on Slack or email.

3. Join the Slack channel. There is a R-Ladies Seattle Slack channel and a R-Ladies Community (global) Slack channel. This is a good place to get R help, post questions, post and look for job opportunities, and connect with other R-Ladies members. Email [email protected] for an invite link.

4. Ask your company to host R-Ladies Seattle. Does your company/organization/school have space for a large group to meet? Typically we see up to 30 people at events.

5. Ask your company to sponsor or donate to R-Ladies Seattle and R-Ladies Global. Right now R-Ladies Seattle accepts in-kind donations like food for events and event space. Donations can be made to R-Ladies global, the larger non-profit that pays for R-Ladies Seattle's meet-up account fees and other organizing costs.

6. Help us organize an event. E-mail the Seattle organizing team to see how you can get involved in organizing events and reaching out to speakers. The co-organizers are using Github issues for this repo to plan events, so you can look and comment there if you're looking to get involved in organizing. More information on how to run an event is here.
