About Groups

Groups give community users the opportunity to network and collaborate based on a common interest, location, profession, etc. Users and admins alike can create groups. Groups can be public and available to all or private to a defined, invited group of members. Read below to learn how to find a group, join a group, create a group, and engage with your group.

Find a Group

Click on "Groups" in the top level navigation. Click "Other Groups" to browse all public groups. Click "Join" to join a group. Click "My Groups" to browse all the groups you are a member of.  If you are a member of 3 or more groups, your view will automatically default to 'My Groups', otherwise it will default to 'Other Groups'.

Too many groups to browse through? Click "Group Search" to find something that may be interesting to you. You can search based on "Group Type," "Keyword," and/or "Location."
