2.    Support SORA work by assisting with occasional ad hoc projects and attending quarterly events.

3.    Help plan at least one of the quarterly events, which typically includes selecting speakers, arranging the venue, preparing an agenda and promotional material, and keeping all EC members informed of progress, risks, and issues.
