LEADER APPLICATION
This is the official application to become a Splunk User Group leader. Please know that your answers do not have to be perfect; we are simply gathering as much information as possible to determine how ready you would be to launch or join the team of your local Splunk User Group. After you submit this application, someone from the Splunk Community team will reach out to you within one week to discuss your candidacy. If we feel that you are ready and have all of the support you need, we will set up a quick Bevy training for you, as Bevy is the platform on which you will be posting and hosting your groups, and from which you will contact your members.
If we feel that you or your region is not ready for a Splunk User Group at this time, we will be sure to discuss with you what the gaps are and how we can see them being filled for future success.
We read every answer- each question is listed for a reason.
