An extraordinary community requires extraordinary leaders.

CS Connect's chapter leads are at the heart of what we do—enabling our chapters to build on their CS knowledge and network that leads to success at work and a meaningful career.

Your mission, if you choose to accept - build a thriving local CS community that supports growth, through active participation and engagement.

A chapter lead loves to get things done, is a good networker, and is passionate about CS as much as personal growth, and development. They feel like they have a calling to serve and impact others.
