Who can join Staffers?
Membership in this staff group includes all people who work on campus, full-time or part-time, temporary or permanent, and volunteers at and retirees of Stanford.
How can I become a member? - We just need you to put your Stanford account email address on our distribution list (stanfordstaffers@lists.stanford.edu). You can do that by going to https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/stanfordstaffers and entering your email address in the box provided.
- Right now, sending an email to the list is limited to those with a Stanford email address. And don't worry, if a particular event has a charge, you will be told that amount ahead of time -- most are FREE!
What does membership consist of? Membership consists of being part of an email community (stanfordstaffers@lists.stanford.edu) that will alert you to educational, social, and vocational opportunities. In addition, Staffers sponsors some events, which arise when individual staff members volunteer to take care of the logistics. All such arrangements are done through their generous contribution of time and energy, with financial support from the Diversity & Access Office.
Are there any dues or paperwork to be completed?

No, membership is free -- no dues and no paperwork!

Do you have regular meetings? Staffers does not currently have any routine meetings scheduled. The group is more event-based than calendar-based.
I want to become more active in the group. How can I do that? Contact any executive board member and they will be glad to let you know of the next board meeting.
How can we keep Staffers dynamic? You can help keep Staffers dynamic by serving on the Staffers Board. The only requirement is a willingness to attend an occasional noon-hour or just-after-work planning meeting. If you could do more, that would be great, but it is not required. Board meetings are generally for event planning or you could volunteer to coordinate a single event.
Can I post a message to the stanfordstaffers@lists.stanford.edu email distribution list? Yes, the list is open for Stanford staff members to post messages of interest to colleagues. Please keep in mind the University's prohibition against using such means for personal gain or for commercial purposes. Also remember that your message will be sent to over 200 people.
