The ADEA Connect portal offers the opportunity to form communities that support Sections, Special Interest Groups, Committees, Administrative Boards, events, etc. ADEA Members or ADEA Staff may assess the need for a new community and submit a request to the ADEA Connect team to launch it.
A best practice of any group is to be well defined, operated and led. Members have an expectation that ADEA will deliver a quality experience. ADEA expects the same from those who use the portal to form new communities.
ADEA expects community leaders and administrators to show reasonable engagement in the discussions. The engagement may involve a post a week, an announcement or other activity. If there has been no engagement in 6 months, we may contact you about plans to improve or close the community. If there is no engagement in 1 year, we may remove the community but only after prior notification to the community administrator and/or staff liaison. All communities are reviewed throughout the year
