Most of the work within RLadies+ happens through the chapter organisers around the world. The global organisation supports them with technical infrastructure and a network they can turn to for help and guidance. The global team also coordinates activities that span all chapters — creating pathways to the international network, increasing visibility of RLadies+ actions, and spotlighting minority genders in tech and R.

Rotating Curator (RoCur)
RLadies+ RoCur
is a rotating Bluesky account that features
a different community member each week. The programme has two goals: to maintain active engagement on
Bluesky, and to spotlight the work of minority gender R users across professions and experience levels —
from newcomers to long-time contributors.
