  • Coordinate regular opportunities for engagement and community building (for example, weekly meetings)

Objective B: Chart a path for the guild

  • Establish and pursue annual goals for the guild

  • Identify opportunities to evangelize research (for example, speaking opportunities or opportunities to co-author a digital.gov blog post), and connect members to those opportunities, as appropriate
  • Raise awareness of research as a driver of value at TTS (For example, in collaboration with the 18F Methods Product Owner, collect usage metrics for research-related methods)
