Membership

Membership Criteria, Roles and Responsibilities

Membership in the ROI Forum is solely by invitation and at the discretion of the Steering Committee. In keeping with the ROI Forum’s vision and priorities, the Steering Committee has set a maximum size of 50 senior leaders individually selected and invited by the Steering Committee to participate in approximately three face-to-face gatherings a year.

ROI Communication will be the ROI Forum facilitator and a participating member of the Steering Committee and the ROI Forum. As the facilitator, ROI Communication is responsible for managing logistics and operational activities, including networking opportunities, periodic gatherings at member companies’ sites and other activities deemed worthwhile by the group.

The individual senior internal communication leader of his or her organization will hold membership as long as he or she meets the original selection criteria, which are as follows:

  • A senior internal communication position at a large organization that meets the guideline of approximately 20,000 or more employees;
  •  The ability and willingness to share their experience and views candidly with their colleagues
  •  The willingness and ability to participate in at least one ROI Forum event a year;
  • A deep interest in the practice and profession of internal communication in large organizations.

Any change in employment that is contrary to those criteria will require the member to notify the steering committee and submit his or her resignation from ROI Forum membership. The objective here is to ensure that the group continues to be as originally constituted from large, complex organizations with similar problems and needs.

Consultants and vendors, other than the founding members, will not be eligible for ROI Forum membership. The objective is to keep commercialization out of the proceedings. The founding members pledge to keep their role non-commercial.

This Charter will be regarded as a living document that can be modified by the ROI Forum Steering Committee at the discretion and pleasure of the membership.
