If the organizer of a group steps down, they can nominate a member to take their place. If no one is nominated, any member of the group can step up and become the new organizer.
If you decide to become an organizer, you’ll need to start a subscription if you don’t have one already. You'll be able to start a subscription when you go through the process of stepping up as an organizer. Every organizer needs their own organizer subscription. Subscriptions are not connected to individual groups, and can’t be transferred from one organizer to another.
Accepting a nomination
If you’ve been nominated as an organizer, you’ll receive a notification directing you to the group’s homepage.
To accept a nomination to step up:
- Navigate to the group's homepage.
- Under “Organizers,” select Accept.
- Follow the prompts to start your own organizer subscription plan.

👉 If you accidentally accept a nomination for a group you don’t want to lead, don’t worry—if you're a Standard organizer, you can step down right away by following the steps listed in the article Stepping down as the organizer of a group. If you're a Pro organizer, feel free to reach out to Meetup Support—we’ll be happy to help you step down from your group. |
Stepping up without a nomination
If an organizer steps down without nominating someone, members will be invited to step up as the new organizer.
To step up as a group's organizer:
- Navigate to the group's homepage.
- Under “Organizers” select Become the Organizer.
- On the next page, select the red Become the organizer button.
