WHO CAN JOIN OPEN GOV HUB?
Our primary membership requirement is that prospective members fit within the opengov theme and focus of our community. We also look for organizations or individuals who are eager to participate in and actively contribute to a collaborative community of continual innovation and learning.

Applications from prospective members are reviewed and approved by the Hub Steering Committee made up of representatives from current member organizations. Note that the Hub is typically at full capacity, so the average wait time to move in is about 3 months.
