## About

The R-Ladies Global Team is comprised of the

* the Leadership Team, who are officially on the Board of Directors for the
non-profit organization.

* various smaller teams critical to operations that support chapter activity
and global presence.

A description of the members and roles of the Global Team is at <https://rladies.org/about-us/global-team/>.
We do our best to keep this up to date;
however, global team members are regularly on-boarding or off-boarding, and new teams
are being formed, so please keep in mind this might not be an exact
representation.

Global Team members often serve in more than one role as the need arises; for example,
an individual can serve on both the leadership team and the website team.

## Our Values

1. **Diversity and Inclusivity:** Embrace and celebrate the diversity of genders and backgrounds, creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

2. **Empowerment:** Empower individuals by providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities to develop skills and confidence in R programming, fostering a sense of agency and capability.

3. **Advocacy and Representation:** Advocate for the representation and recognition of underrepresented genders in the R programming community, highlighting their contributions and advocating for equal opportunities.

4. **Community Engagement:** Foster a vibrant community that encourages collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and support among underrepresented genders in R programming, creating a network that uplifts each other.

5. **Education and Accessibility:** Strive to make learning R programming accessible to all, regardless of background or previous experience, by providing free resources, workshops, and educational materials.

6. **Innovation and Creativity:** Encourage innovative thinking and creativity, promoting new ideas, approaches, and perspectives in R programming while encouraging experimentation and exploration.

7. **Transparency and Integrity:** Operate with transparency and integrity in all endeavors, ensuring accountability, honesty, and fairness in decision-making processes and interactions.

8. **Continuous Learning and Growth:** Foster a culture of continuous learning and growth, encouraging personal and professional development within the R programming domain and beyond.

9. **Respect and Support:** Cultivate a supportive environment where respect, empathy, and understanding are paramount, fostering a culture of kindness and support for each other's journeys.

10. **Impact and Sustainability:** Strive for a lasting impact by developing sustainable programs, initiatives, and partnerships that contribute to the long-term growth and success of underrepresented genders in R programming.

## Commitment

As R-Ladies is a purely volunteer run organisation, we respect and encourage your
need to have vacations, free-time and focus on other aspects of your life. The
hours spent on R-Ladies work should happen when you are truly available to do them.
We do ask those that are seeking to join the Global Team commit to one year of service
(of course, we would understand if life interrupts this commitment), and an estimated
weekly time commitment is 1 to 4 hours a week. In addition, the needs of
the specific roles may vary: some volunteers work on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly
basis due to natural workload fluctuations.

If a volunteer needs to temporarily pause their responsibilities for any reason
(e.g., work, health, or vacation) please let the leadership team know so that we
may fill your role during your absence.

If a volunteer is ready to exit the Global Team for any reason, please let the leadership
team know. If you are capable, we would appreciate it if you have the capacity to on-board a new
team member to your role; but if you are unable, we understand.

We suspect that after service over time in a specific role you may be ready to
try a new role, if you wish to continue on the Global Team. If you have reached that
point, please let the leadership team know so that we may re-assign you to role
that aligns with your current interests.

## Communication

Our primary communication channel is Slack, and the common language we communicate
in is English. We hope for Global Team members to regularly check Slack; if the
team member is not present on Slack, then we require them to be responsive via email.

## Operations

Individual teams within the Global Team may operate relatively independently
from the Global Team or may work more closely with the Global Team. Individual
teams may establish their own work preferences or set their own small team meetings.
In addition, many, but not all, members of the Global Team serve on multiple
individual teams. Lastly, belonging to a specific team does not mean your contributions
or communications are limited to that team. Individual teams often solicit and
receive feedback or assistance from other members of the Global Team.

## Benefits

By participating in R-Ladies you are helping women and gender minorities
by creating a safe space to learn, teach, and develop, as well as build
a support network and contacts.

Some of the personal benefits that we think come with joining the global team
and volunteering time are gaining experience in leadership, asynchronous remote work,
international team work, not-for-profit open-source work, and work in gender minority
only team and organization.

Depending on the role, there also may be opportunities for technical upskilling.
For example, some members of the Global team use R, reproducible reports,
git/GitHub, GitHub Actions, Hugo website development, and database integrations.
Knowledge of these tools is not a requirement for selection; the Global team will
provide training on processes specific to your role.

## Joining the Global Team

The Global Team regularly needs to fulfill roles. This may be accomplished by
asking on the organizers or community slack if anyone has capacity to fulfill a
position, via a more formal call for volunteers via a News announcement on the
R-Ladies website (such as the one from [2023-04-11](https://rladies.org/news/2023-04-11-global-team-recruiting/)),
or via individual volunteers reaching out.

In selecting volunteers, we are looking for demonstrated:
1. alignment with the values of the Global Team, and
2. interaction with the R-Ladies organization.


Potential organizational interactions can include:
* Having an entry in the R-Ladies directory.
* Having attended R-Ladies chapter meet-ups, either online or in person.
* Given a talk for an R-Ladies chapter meet-up.
* Being a current or past R-Ladies chapter organizer.
* Being present (even better, active!) in the R-Ladies community or organizer's slack.
* Contributing a blog post to the website.
* Making a pull request on the website or the guide.
* Other actions that fulfill the mission of R-Ladies.

Alignment with core values is required for entry to the Global Team, in addition
to some (but not all) of the potential organizational interactions.

If you have interest in joining the Global Team, please inform us by completing the [R-Ladies Global Team Volunteer Interest Form](https://airtable.com/appgo0YoQ9oIc6Qa1/pagvJWAClzKUO7Tak/form).

## Contact

If you are an organizer but not in the global team, the quickest way to contact
the leadership team is to use `#help-ask_the_leadership` in the R-Ladies organizer slack.

If you are on Global Team, you can communicate with other other members of the global
team (including the leadership team) on the private `#team-global` channel
in the R-Ladies Organizer slack.

Otherwise, the leadership team can be contacted via email at `info@rladies.org`.

## R-Ladies Organization Structure

{{< figure src="RladiesStructure.png" alt="R-Ladies organigram" >}}

## R-Ladies Rules & Guidelines

- **Free**: Public events run by R-Ladies are always offered free of
charge to participants.

- **R** **Language/Environment specific**: The contextual
subject/domain scope of R-Ladies' diversity initiative is
specifically the open source R community.

- **Leadership, Mentorship, Membership, Presenters/Speakers &
Prioritization of Underrepresented/Minority Genders**: In line
with R-Ladies' Mission Statement, community roles and
participation is reserved and prioritised, respectively, for the
genders who are currently underrepresented in the R community. As
such, Leadership roles within R-Ladies communities, particularly
Organiser and any Mentor roles, are to be held by people of a
minority gender. If there exists sufficient choice to have
Presenters/Speakers at R-Ladies who identify as a minority gender,
this is the preferred option. However, the choice of
Presenters/Speakers is up to the relevant local Organisers'
discretion, depending on availability and potential value/learning
opportunity of those who volunteer.

- **Rules for Participation of Represented/Majority Gender**: In line
with R-Ladies' Mission Statement, the genders/identities which are
not underrepresented in the R community are not within the scope
of this diversity initiative. The known majority gender group, cis
men, can participate in an R-Ladies' community within an
appropriately designed framework, as per the relevant local
Organisers' discretion, e.g., as an invited guest of/sponsored by
a Member, as a full Member etc. The majority of the speakers at
any R-Ladies chapter needs to be of a minority gender and there is
a strong recommendation for maximum one cis-male speaker per
event. Given this majority gender's dominance in the general R
community, there is no obligation for R-Ladies to
focus/provide/allow comparable support or engage with this
majority identity, particularly at the expense of the target
minority gender groups - as such, it is feasible to enable, for
example, Meetup membership requests to require Organizer approval,
and allowing only those identifying as the target minorities to
join the R-Ladies.

- **Note**: Please do be aware of the relevant Equality
Legislation in your jurisdiction, e.g the Equality Act 2010 in
the UK, when designing participation frameworks for the
majority gender, to ensure your procedures are not infringing
local laws re. potential discrimination.

- **R-Ladies Code of Conduct**: All members must follow the [Code of
Conduct](/about/coc).

- **Community-Driven administration, independent of External
influences**: R-Ladies does not have permanent ties or links to
external sponsors or parties. Appropriate sponsorship and support
which does not seek to dictate or influence R-Ladies
Mission-driven activities/decision-making but enhances the
community's operations and impact is welcomed. Local R-Ladies
Organisers are encouraged to gain appropriate support which does
not compromise the community's independence.

- **No commercial agenda**: Chapters are started by individuals, not by companies.
Chapters can partner with companies for sponsorship in the form of venue space, food or other supplies. Chapters and events may not be ‘used’ by a corporation/as a commercial vehicle for private aims.
This also means that speakers cannot give talks about paid products/services,
even if they don't work at the company offering the product/service.

## Chapters

Chapters are set up by R-Leaders (identifying as a minority gender) in
cities around the world. In this guide you will find information about
how to get started. Each R-Ladies chapter is expected to conduct themselves
in accordance with the following stipulations:

- Use of the [Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/) platform
to help organise and promote chapter events, with appropriate
name, e.g. "R-Ladies \[Location\]"

- Use of a social media accounts to help promote chapter events and
publicise R-Ladies Global activities and news, with appropriate
name, e.g. \@RLadies\[Location\]

- Pro-active participation by chapter leaders in the R-Ladies
Organizers Slack as the main centralised communication platform
for R-Ladies community engagement, and collective decision-making.

- Pro-active sharing of relevant learnings, conferences/events,
resources, news, achievements, ideas, projects, and proposals via
the R-Ladies Slack, social media, and
[github](/~https://github.com/rladies) by chapter leaders.

Email `chapters@rladies.org` for inquiries about creating a new chapter or
reactivating a chapter that is currently inactive. If you are already a chapter
organizer, you can message on slack \#new\_chapters (or \#organisers) with any questions.
