This document assembles guidelines applicable to all StEER members and should be reviewed by all new members. Supplemental handbooks provide additional guidance and instructions for specific StEER team functions. In addition to this document’s formal statement of StEER policies for its members, StEER maintains a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on its website that provides more nuanced explanations of these policies in practice: https://www.steer.network/faq. StEER wishes to further acknowledge that these policies, which will continue to evolve with input from the community, were inspired greatly by the example of Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association and the opportunities to exchange ideas and best practices among the members of the Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Converge Leadership Corps.
