Hello! Community Pros 😊

I’m pleased to introduce the very first issue of this exciting year.

The storm of layoffs is far from stopping, and we are working hard to collect job opportunities for those who have been affected. Currently, we have 79 jobs listed on our Jobs Board.

After a December loaded with predictions and upcoming trends, it is time to remove the dust from our keyboard and start creating, planning and executing those community programs you have worked so hard on before the break.

We are back with the Stories from Community Pros, and Michelle Goodall from Guild has been featured this week. I do strongly recommend checking on what’s community for her. (Kudos!)

CMX Awards are just around the corner, and many events have been reloaded in our calendars for this month.

💌 With love Francisco and Led by Community Team.

On Twitter this week…

A year or so ago, I gave a talk at @turingfest about the 7 decisions you need to get right to build a community.
Alas, no one turned up to see it 😳, but I've always thought it's a good primer for anyone just getting started.

Burb Blog - The benefits of using social media to engage with your community members

You may want to consider not relying entirely on your digital groups like Circle, Heartbeat, MightyNetwork, or Facebook Group to communicate with your community members. You want to go to where they are, and there are several benefits to connecting with your community members on other platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
