Core Values

We are a community in which human dignity and equality is not negotiable. We debate ideas, fiercely protect ideals, experiment, lean on and learn from each other. Most importantly, we commit to making sure that we always seek out and amplify the voices of those who could not join us at the table.  

Living these core values is the essential measure of who we are and the work we doNetwork members, volunteers, collaborators, partners, board directors, and staff--every part of our community holds itself and each other accountable for embodying these values.  

We kindly expect that all SEEP sign on to our Core Values when joining our community. 

Annual Membership Dues

Organizational members will pay membership dues upon approval of their application. Associate Members will be prompted to pay for their membership upon receipt of their application. Membership becomes official upon payment of membership dues. Members joining the network during the calendar year shall pay a pro-rated amount. Membership dues for renewing members are collected annually, beginning in January.

Our organizational dues structure is intentionally designed to afford fairness across organizations of diverse size and revenue levels. As presented in the tier levels below, members with less revenue pay less in dues while larger, higher earning organizations pay more to support the network.
