How do I become an ITRC Member?

What it means to be a Member
Commitment
- Project teams are active for an average of two years, with membership commitment varying based on the roles you take on
- Member roles
- Active members participate, listen, and engage in monthly and subgroup meetings
- Active members engage in research, writing, and/or editing of the fact sheets and/or full guidance documents
- Subgroup leaders (higher commitment) lead and coordinate subgroup meetings and have more communication with the team leads and program advisors
Project Team Meetings
- Almost all project team meetings are virtual since our membership is spread across the country and beyond
- Each team has at least two in-person meetings per year: one at the ITRC Annual Meeting in the Spring and one in the Summer/Fall
- Attendance at the in-person meetings is not required, but encouraged for those who are able to attend
