NETWORK MEMBER CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT
Institutions may elect to remain a Network Member institution. Institutions are offered the opportunity to remain engaged in the FirstGen Forward Network (Network) to continue demonstrating a commitment to advancing first-generation student success. While continuing engagement as a Network Member institution will engage in regionally-based community meetings, networking and professional development, and share knowledge as leaders in this important work. Through active engagement and meeting annual requirements, Network Member institutions maintain status within this phase of the Network. Each year there will be the opportunity to progress to Network Leader or remain as a Network Member.

Led by a FirstGen Forward team member bi-monthly, with facilitation support coming from other Network Leaders and Network Champions.

Institutions are encouraged to review the topic schedule in advance to invite anyone from the institution to attend that aligns with the content for that month. Regular attendance is required, however, it does not have to be specifically the Primary Contacts to ensure a more widespread institutional investment in the Network.
