An ARCS Affinity Group is a community group made up of ARCS members who share common interests and goals, and who come together to support one another, share knowledge, and advocate for mutual concerns. An Affinity Group focuses on networking, professional development, and fostering a sense of community among members with similar roles or institutions. It creates a forum for exchanging best practices, discussing challenges, and collaborating on solutions. 

The Affinity Group meetings are a safe space to meet and discuss issues or questions with your colleagues. Members self-select to join the group and meet and participate as they choose to achieve their objectives.

Affinity Groups are open to all ARCS members.
