• We believe mobilizing people around the world is key to ensuring the Internet’s future.

• Strengthening and increasing support for our membership community is key to the Internet Society’s success.

• bringing together and engaging with our community, especially our Chapters and members, is one of our highest priorities.

…Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.
