FAQ

Who is Membership for?

If you're interested in what we cover in our newsletter, then Membership is for you. Our Members come from a wide range of backgrounds, and their interests in the built environment are sometimes professional, sometimes personal, and always enthusiastic.

How active is the Members' Slack?

Most weekdays there are between one and two hundred messages posted to the Slack. However, we tend to organize conversation within threads -- so the vast majority of messages won't trigger a notification on your phone or computer.
