The OrgOrg Org
OrgOrg is a 100% Volunteer-run organization. Our amazing team is made up of experienced Business Operations professionals, who know how important this community is to all of us and give their time to help make it great.
Want to learn more about what each group does? Keep reading!
If you'd like to join the ranks, please contact the group you're interested in and they'll let you know what their needs are! All volunteers are expected to make a 6-month commitment (generally no more than a few hours a week), and communicate regularly with their teams (we use Google Apps, Slack, and Trello) as they work towards their teams' goals. Volunteers get a sweet @orgorg.co email address, bragging rights on LinkedIn (and this here website), and access to behind the scenes information about our operations...plus, you know, the opportunity to work on cool projects that make a difference to this community.
Come join the organization helping to organize the Organization Organizers! :)
