GSA MEMBER COMMUNITY, POWERED BY YOU!
GSA’s vibrant Member Community platform is a simple, dynamic way to commu-
nicate with your professional network. It allows GSA members to easily connect,
learn, and share with fellow members online, and empowers groups to work together
more effectively.

Here’s a brief overview of some of the features:
• Centralized discussion groups with enhanced email capabilities—Members receive
email notifications from discussion forums that are more structured and easier to read
than listservs and allow participants to reply directly from email;
• Member directory—Within the Member Community platform, GSA member search
is comprehensive and interactive; and
• Resource libraries help archive shared documents and collaborative work products.
