April marks #SecondChanceMonth, a pivotal time dedicated to acknowledging the potential for growth, redemption, and transformation. It's a period for reflection on the societal barriers faced by those returning from incarceration and how we can collectively dismantle these obstacles to foster a more inclusive and supportive community. A cornerstone of this effort, and a key to unlocking potential and reducing recidivism, is #FairChanceHiring. This practice is not just about providing employment; it’s about restoring dignity and creating opportunities. Excited to kick this month off engaging in meaningful dialogue with Untapped Solutions (Formerly ConConnect). Our panel will explore groundbreaking strategies, technology solutions, and programs that pave the way for smoother transitions, successful hiring, and sustainable futures. Check out the details below and join the conversation!

Last week at the #CMXSummit in San Francisco, I had the distinct pleasure of delving deep into the evolving world of community engagement. As an attendee, the energy was palpable—from the main stage to the buzzing networking sessions, every moment was a learning opportunity. The privilege of interacting face-to-face with pioneering thinkers and enthusiastic #communitybuilders added a rich layer to my understanding of how strategic community engagement can truly transform businesses. I am especially grateful for the thought-provoking discussions and the wealth of knowledge shared by everyone present. Walking away with a plethora of resources, including insightful community-focused books and reports, has been invaluable. A special thank you to the authors and researchers like Susie Wise, Kasley Killam, MPH, Kim Scott, Martin Carcasson, Ruth D., Molli Aronce, DeMario Bell. Your contributions are shaping our practices and perspectives. Reflecting on this year's summit, the critical role of community in business was underscored repeatedly. It's clear that community is not just about #belonging —it's about engaging actively and contributing in ways that make every member feel vital to the whole. Key #Insights from the CMX Summit: ✨ Health and Community: Engaged communities significantly boost member health. ✨ Intentionality in Connections: We must focus on facilitating deeper, more meaningful interactions. ✨ Global Perspective: It's essential to consider and incorporate the diverse, global audience we serve. ✨ Sustainable Strategies: Looking forward, the goal is to build communities that last well beyond the immediate future. As we all continue to shape the future of community management, I’m keen to keep these conversations going. What was your biggest takeaway from the CMX Summit, or from any recent engagement with your community? I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the incredible individuals I met and engaging with new ones here online. A shoutout to some of the amazing people I connected with: Beth McIntyre, Richard Millington, Rei Parreiras, Amanda Natalie Løvgren Fellov, Margaux Miller, and many others—your insights and newly created friendship were truly the highlight of my week! #CommunityBuilding #CommunityEngagement #GlobalCommunity #SustainableCommunities #CommunityHealth

Reflecting back on Networks Day 2023: This year's theme of #StayingStrong was more relevant than ever towards making work better for everyone in organisations. The event resonated with the key themes of wellbeing, allyship, and sustainability which played crucial roles in building resilient and effective staff networks. The webinars focused on these sub-themes were packed with inspiring discussions, effective solutions, and eye-opening insights. A heartfelt appreciation to all the network leaders, steering committee members, and network members who participated and added significant value to these conversations. Special thanks to everyone who sent in their #StayingStrong images and videos, making it a true community event. We felt your strength, commitment, and solidarity. Every co-branded imagery submitted was a testament to our collective resolve. Highlighting diversity and inclusion practitioners was an incredible initiative that recognised the often under-appreciated champions within organisations. A round of applause to those who continue to uplift their networks and assist them in #StayingStrong. Finally, the initiative of #StayingStrong resonated throughout our celebrations and carried forward in every activity, discussion, and reflection we engaged in, bringing us closer as a community committed to change. As we count down to Networks Day 2024 on May 8th, let's keep the spirit of #StayingStrong alive, reinforcing our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and better work experiences for all. 🌐💪🎉 #StaffNetworksDay #DiversityandInclusion #StaffNetworks

Thank you everyone for joining our community meet-up last week! It was wonderful to hear your ideas and co-create ✨  This was a pre-launch event with those interested in joining, and learning about your needs and expectations was indispensable. New connections and collaboration opportunities unfolded in breakout rooms, valuable insights and experiences were shared. Our discussion was around the question “How can we build this community in the most effective way for those on a mission to engage stakeholders to drive their impact goals”? Attendees shared the challenges they are facing and the potential benefit this group may bring to them. We learned that our community needs a space for; 🔶 Sharing best practices within and across sectors, 🔶 Building partnerships locally and internationally to progress impact goals 🔶 Connecting over shared challenges and building meaningful relationships. And this is exactly why we are re-launching our community. Whether you're steering your company's sustainability strategy, managing volunteering or diversity & inclusion programs, organising community events, running a membership network, or working on supplier engagement — if you're all about moving the needle on social and environmental goals, this is the place for you. We would love to welcome everyone who is leading these types of programmes - but if you’re not leading this type of programme and if you’re someone who is interested in supporting those who lead these programmes you’re also welcome to join. The aim is to create spaces fit for purpose, where we’ll encourage learning, collaboration and progress amongst peers as well as supporters. On Linkedin, I will be sharing about our journey while we build this community so if you’d like to join or contribute in any way you can. If you are interested in becoming part of this community please fill out the registration form in the comments. We look forward to our next event in the new year and hope to see you there! #socialvalue #esg #csr #impact #collaboration

GrowthZone AMS’ latest association survey report reveals a few common challenges: associations have a hard time proving the value of membership and persuading members to make time for association engagement. Many of them admit to not having documented plans for member engagement, young professional recruitment, and lapsed member reengagement—that’s a good place to start. https://buff.ly/49ndwVe #associationmanagement #membership #associations
