What is directory?
Directory is a listing of private groups in Washington, D.C. Book clubs, reading circles, policy seminars, and other groups that meet regularly.
How to get in
Invitation
Every member holds one active invite code tied to a specific group. If someone in a group gives you their code, you can use it to join. Codes are single-use and do not grant access to other groups.
Application
Groups that accept open applications are marked on the directory. You can apply with a brief note introducing yourself. Group leaders review applications on their own timeline.
Listing your group
If you run a group in Washington and want it listed, submit it for review. Every submission is read before anything goes up. We are looking for groups that meet regularly and take the subject seriously. Please no LinkedIn warriors.
