The Value in Volunteering
Collectively, engaged volunteers contribute countless hours to help move the community forward.
Take it from your peers. InCommon Advisory Committees embody our community-driven approach to innovation:
“Volunteering on different committees and working groups with people at very different institutions and organizations has given me a broader perspective and greater appreciation for the different technical and strategic topics we’ve convened over.”
– Derek Eiler, Nevada System of Higher Education
“I volunteered for the InCommon Technical Advisory Committee because of its mission-critical tasks in developing new paradigms in federated identity management. I want to be a part of the committee to assist in this effort and bring this information back to my institution.”
– Kathy E. Wright, Clemson University
“My engineer who serves on the Community Trust and Assurance Board has been my biggest benefit. When there are problems implementing tools, he has a network he can rely upon. They talk about issues in the community, so problems end up on our radar screen a lot earlier than if he wasn’t involved with InCommon.”
– Marc Wallman, North Dakota State University
