This badge recognizes service as an EDUCAUSE Community Group (CG) Leader. The CG leader’s role is to guide, encourage, and inform community discussion on special topics. The CG leader is frequently an expert in their topic area, and serves as an advocate who helps energize the community. CG leaders also participate in the CG Leaders group, meeting quarterly to identify and share best practices and to discuss ways for EDUCAUSE to improve community engagement in the CGs.
