As a GenXer, I’m feeling a moment of great joy and rage all at the same time as we stand on the precipice of the most significant change we’ve ever seen in over 100 years. How we see happiness is changing, and with that, how we achieve it.
One of the most valuable tasks you have as a community host is communicating with members effectively. Many new community builders make the mistake of assuming members will connect organically, but this isn’t something that typically happens. To the contrary, it’s your responsibility to tell people how you want them to show up, modeling it for them within the space. Members need a guide to help them know who’s there, and why they should connect to others.
You never know the magic you can make when bringing people together. The more you know about your members the better you’ll be able to engage them. Even if your community never has in-person gatherings, find a way to connect with your members, too.
