# Call for community mods

## We’re looking for community moderators for Taxonomy Talk!

We're looking for 2-3 community members to help nurture our growing Discord community. As a moderator, you'll help maintain the welcoming, collaborative environment that makes Taxonomy Talk special.

### What we're looking for:

* Community members who can dedicate about an hour per week to browsing discussions and helping keep things running smoothly
* People interested in identifying engaging topics and potential speakers for our events
* Individuals who can respond to basic community needs and questions
* Those interested in helping the community become more self-organizing

The role is intentionally flexible and low-maintenance - we believe the best communities are those that can largely self-organize with minimal top-down governance.

### Moderators will:

* Be invited to casual meet-and-greets with the mod team
* Be added to notifications for new speaker and volunteer applications
* Help identify interesting discussions and themes from the community
* Assist with basic community management as needed

We value having moderators from different backgrounds and experience levels in the taxonomy field. You don't need to be a senior practitioner or well-known name--we're looking for engaged community members who care about fostering good discussions. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy being part of, we'd love to hear from you!

### Ready to Apply?
