HEUG Community Council

Strengthening member voice, shaping priorities, and advancing collaboration across the HEUG community.

HEUG Community Council

The HEUG Community Council represents the collective leadership of our member community. Composed of elected volunteer leaders, the Council strengthens connection, drives collaboration, and ensures member priorities inform the direction of HEUG.

Serving as a formal leadership body within HEUG’s governance framework, the Community Council connects practitioner insight to organizational strategy. It helps shape programming, partnership dialogue, and long term priorities that impact our members and the broader ecosystem.

Why the Community Council Matters

  • Elevates member voice into strategic conversations
  • Aligns functional and technical communities across organizations
  • Provides structured feedback channels to system partners
  • Strengthens collaboration across vendor focused and vendor inclusive communities
  • Builds leadership capacity across HEUG

How the Community Council Is Structured

The Community Council is composed of two types of volunteer-led communities: Advisory Groups and Communities of Practice. Together, they create a consistent structure for governance, collaboration, and professional development across HEUG.

Advisory Groups (AGs)

Vendor-Focused Communities

Advisory Groups bring together members working within specific technology ecosystems. They facilitate product-focused discussions, elevate community feedback to system partners, and advocate for enhancements that support institutional success.

Communities of Practice (CoPs)

Vendor-Inclusive Communities

Communities of Practice are organized around shared professional interests and functional areas. These groups foster cross-platform collaboration, peer learning, and the exchange of best practices that transcend individual systems or vendors.
