Support for SAGE Local Groups
SAGE recognizes and supports local groups of system administrators
as an important way to encourage interaction among members.
If you are not currently a recognized
SAGE local group, please take the time to become one now! If your group already exists, please send email to suggestions@sage.org, demonstrating your eligibility. No group in your area yet?
See
How to Set Up a Local Group.
Services available to recognized SAGE local groups
include:
- Use of the SAGE name, as long as it always appears with the
geographical identifier of the local group (e.g., SAGE-Colorado)
- Free SAGE give-aways
- Relevant geographic subsets of SAGE/USENIX member mailing
lists
- Eligibility for project funding consideration
- Group discounts on SAGE items
- Your Jobs Offered URL included on the SAGE Jobs Offered Web page
- Listing on the SAGE Web site as a SAGE local group
To be recognized as a SAGE local group and be eligible for SAGE local
group services, a group must meet the following criteria:
- Represent a defined geographic area
- Allow participation and/or membership to any system
administrator in that defined geographical and administrative area
- Have a purpose consistent with that of SAGE
- Meet at least four times per year
- Not be organized for profit
- At all times have at least two members who are members of
SAGE (designated sponsors)
Local groups desiring affiliation as SAGE local groups must register
with SAGE and minimally:
- Demonstrate that the requisite criteria are met
- Name the designated sponsors
- Appoint a liaison to SAGE for coordination and
communication
- Provide an email address to which to forward SAGE-relevant announcements
- Agree to include the SAGE Web URL in all distributed
information (e.g., Web site, flyers, programs)
SAGE local groups must keep their registered information current. The determination of eligibility is at the sole discretion
of SAGE.
