What’s a SIG?
It is when members interested in a specific topic or who enjoy the same activity get together on a regularly scheduled basis – whether it be in-person or online. From book and movie clubs to outdoor or community adventures, OLLI members are welcome to participate in any SIG throughout our four learning regions. There is no fee for joining a SIG, as they are a member benefit. Though there may be costs associated with activities planned by the members of the SIG.
To learn more about a particular SIG, you can click on the SIG Leader's name and send them an email with your questions or to be added to the e-mail list.
