How you can become a member of the inCYST Institute

OK, I've been thinking long and hard about how to make this work, so that everyone involved has a place at the table. I've developed a scale of membership options that allows anyone who supports the philosophies driving our model to participate.

When it comes time to decide where the research money is going to go, this is how it will be divided up.

1. 1/3 will be decided upon by a vote of the institute members. Each membership, no matter how big or how small, constitutes one vote. The power to decide this share of the decision making will be divided equally among those with hormone disorders, those who treat them, and companies who serve them with products and services. Degrees, donation size…don't matter. Only participation does.

2. 1/3 will be decided upon by a vote of our soon to be formed board of directors. I will be intentionally choosing a group of people who are critical thinkers and who challenge ME to think in new and different ways, who may have access to experiences and educations I do not have and that the general membership does not have, but that may benefit the mission of the organization.

3. 1/3 will be decided upon by me. I am in this place in life because of the way I see things, and rather than fear that, I'm stepping up and doing something with it. Please know, I consider this a huge responsibility, as how I conduct myself in this decision making will reflect in how our membership survives or nosedives. You have my word I'll do my best to do this work with integrity.

OK! Now here are the levels of membership I am opening up. They are annual fees, which starting in 2012 will run from January — December. This year only, since we're new, whatever months you sign up for now will be rolled into your 2012 membership. Good time to get your toes wet and try us out!
