Can I say I represent my employer in GRA?

Only if your employer has formally authorized you and that representation has been recorded through the appropriate institutional pathway. 

Listing your employer in your profile does not mean your employer participates. Using a professional email does not mean your employer participates. Employer payment of your subscription does not mean your employer participates. Your job title does not automatically create institutional representation. 

If you are participating individually, you may say: 

Affiliation listed for professional context only. No institutional representation implied unless separately authorized and recorded. 

If your employer wants to participate, it should use the institutional pathway, such as Helix Councils, sponsorship, host, anchor, partner, or another approved organizational route. 

Do not say your employer is a GRA member, sponsor, participant, partner, capital reader, insurance-readiness participant, Nexus Universe participant, or National Stewardship Council participant unless that status has been separately approved and recorded.
