SacDotNet is a not for profit organization, run by dedicated volunteers. SacDotNet has a very unique organizational structure, which has contributed greatly to its success. Simplicity is the key. Simplicity makes the organization agile, so that it can adapt to changes quickly.

We believe in the philosophy of “assumed leadership” or "inspired leadership" as opposed to “assigned leadership”. It means that each team member steps up according to his or her abilities and time constraints as the need arises. For this reason, we stayed away from a hierarchical organization structure.

SacDotNet organization contains two teams. They are the advisory team and the executive team.
The advisory team has four to six directors who have made significant contribution to .net or software business community, local or elsewhere. The team provides strategic advice to the executive team and also provides positive visibility to the group in the community. A director in the advisory board may not participate in the daily management of the group and could be remote. The tenure is 4 years, which may be extendable based on mutual interest.

The executive team consists of four to six executive directors, who are involved with the active management of the group. There is no specific tenure. Based on the time constraints, a team member may continue to serve the group or step aside for a new team member to come on board.

Many times we had been asked about the benefits of running a .Net user group. While there are no direct financial or business benefits, it is very rewarding in terms of networking, community, technical awareness, and philanthropy. Aspiring technical and business professionals may benefit greatly from the visibility and networking opportunities provided by SacDotNet leadership and participation. We have very strict privacy policy and the member database is highly protected; it is accessible to only certain directors, on a need to know basis. Your email address is not transmitted during your RSVP, message board or job board submittals.

How to become an executive director? First, you need to attend the SacDotNet events regularly. You need at least one specific skill set that may be useful for the group. An executive director may be requested to speak at the group if a speaker cancels in the last minute. Presenting on a .Net topic is an excellent way to start associating with the group on a closer level. Once you gain visibility of the executive team, the advisory team or the .Net community itself, you may approach one of the directors and express your interest in being a team member
