Effective March 30th, Member Meetings will be a time dedicated to fostering connections, conversations, and learning for members and stakeholders across the DRI ecosystem. You will be notified when there are events that require your corporation’s representation for matters such as voting. We encourage you to share the invite within your organizations so that your researchers are learning about the tools, supports, and resources that the Alliance has to offer.
