Membership

We offer 2 ways to be part of GBEN.  Becoming a paying member of GBEN allows you to develop your professional skills, network, and engage in online forums; we offer professional and student memberships.  As we are an all volunteer-led organization, member dues support our sustainability and growth activities, including paying honorias for presenters, our Zoom and website accounts, and fun perks like snacks and swag at in-person social events. If you would like to be a member but cost is a barrier, please contact Susan, (deicochair1@greaterbostoneval.org) to discuss other volunteer opportunities in place of dues.

We also have a "Friend of GBEN" which will allow you to receive occasional emails about upcoming events at no cost.
