An SLC general member is a graduate student who is an EERI member from an active EERI chapter. SLC general members are not funded to attend the competition or the SLC retreat. However, general members could already be at the conference as presenters and could help with things while there. Additionally, general members could use EERI young professional grants to help cover some of the costs.

• SLC general members can help with:
  • Proposal judging.
  • T-shirt judging.
  • Architecture judging (if at the competition in person).
  • Presentation judging (if at the competition in person).
  • Leading presentation sessions (if at the competition in person).
  • Work on special projects with SLC committee members if they so desire.

If you are interested in joining the SLC as a General Member, please email: slc@eeri.org
