From time to time, members reach a point where stepping back from regular meetings makes sense. This might be due to a new business, family priorities, or simply a shift in focus.
A sabbatical provides a way to take that step back without fully leaving the community. It allows you to create space for what’s in front of you, while keeping a clear path to return when the timing is right.
The structure is intentionally simple. Sabbaticals are time-bound, with a defined return point, and include a reduced level of engagement with the broader Netcito community during that period.
| Sabbatical Status | Alumni Status | |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve a seat | Automatically return to your group at the end of sabbatical | Forego space in your group and go through nomination process if/when returning |
| Group communications | Continue receiving all emails from your group (subject to group approval) and the Netcito network | No longer receive emails from your group, but retain access to the Netcito online community and continue receiving invitations, updates, and news from Netcito. |
| Timeframe | Minimum 3 months with definite end date (can be extended). Cannot be open-ended. Maximum 6 months. | Alumni status is ongoing until you reapply or request a change. |
| Pricing | -If Netcito raises dues, current rate is “grandparented” in following sabbatical. |
-Dues are $95/mo during sabbatical | -No dues after resigning
-Pay current rate when returning to Netcito (prices may increase)
-Initiation fee for re-application is equal to one month’s dues |
