FAQs
Q. Can I be an online DOLS member even if I have never been to a DOLS dinner at an educational conference?
A. To become a DOLS member, a woman must be sponsored by an existing DOLS member at a DOLS dinner. For the start-up phase of www.thedols.net, membership will continue to be limited to the original DOLS list created by Ellen Bialo.
