Speaker: Carrie Melissa Jones; Founder, Gather Community Consulting
Successful communities demand much more attention than most organizations predict. While organizations often launch communities with one or two key leaders and project managers, this approach rarely scales past the first few months. In a best-case scenario, it can create overwhelm for teams that scramble to keep up with relationship-nurturing, measuring their value, and creating valuable content. In a worst-case scenario, it leaves teams stretched thin and unable to create a thriving community. Community is similar to any other department in that it demands a full-time team and a knowledgeable, present community manager. In order for your community to truly thrive, you need to ensure that it's equipped with the resources necessary to succeed.
