Membership - Free to All

To join the network, all we need from you is your Name and Email address. By giving us this information we will add you to the network mailing list. Don’t worry, only the committee has sight of who the membership of the list is. Any member of the network can send an email to the entire mailing list by sending a single email to LGBTSTAFF@LISTS.UCC.IE, and it is a great way to stay in touch and share information relevant to your LGBTQ+ colleagues here in UCC.

To be added to the membership list simply send us an email to lgbtnetwork@ucc.ie and we will add you to the list.

Or you can sign yourself up automatically. Simply open this email, replacing "forename" and "surname" in the body of the email with your own forename and surname. Then simply hit send, and you'll be all signed up.

We will keep the names and email addresses of all eligible members on the list until they ask to be removed.

By supporting the network with a financial subscription, you will also be automatically added as a member to our membership mailing list if you are not already a member. 

Only the Co-Chairs, Finance Officer of the network and members of UCC Payroll staff will have access to this data (Name, Email Address, Department, Staff Number, Amount of Contribution (suggested subscription of €2.50) for the purposes of administering the payroll deduction. The paper form will be securely stored by the payroll office in line with their data storage procedures. 

If you were not already a member of the UCC LGBT Staff Network, the co-chairs and / or finance officer may also share your name and email address with other members of the committee for the purposes of adding you to the network membership mailing list.
