In a more detailed answer - I don't think you have to be member of anything, except of ProZ.com perhaps, but I suppose you could invite anyone you want, but that would be advertised just on this site anyway. If I am to organize one I would like to gather some info on what the others do exactly, what have they studied, how did they started their translator careers. I thought "why would anyone one to share their know-how, we are competition after all", but I guess the idea is to be helpful to each other and I would happily share my experience. It is to make the translator community work better after all.
About the organization process you could directly ask the staff i.e. submit support request or contact someone that has done that already somewhere near you.
This is my opinion
Thanks, now I know everything about it.
