Membership

Member groups

Resolution Institute is incredibly lucky to have so many members who regularly volunteer their time in member groups to assist our small operational team achieve our common goals. In 2019, we expanded the member group program enabling more ways for members to contribute. Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) were renamed as Professional Development Groups. New group types were also created, they were Professional Development Networks and Growth Working Groups.

We are always looking for enthusiastic, reliable and committed Resolution Institute members to be part of our member groups.
