Community builders need to have persistence.
This is easier when you have a process.
Best of all is a process driven by a strategic vision that's executed with empathy and in alignment with your values.

Building community takes small acts, completed on a growing scale. You are planting seeds with each interaction.
You aren't asking someone to read a blog.
You are asking them to participate, interact, and foster an environment where others want to join and belong.
To the City of Dallas & any other cities experiencing these severe weather conditions, we hope you are staying safe & warm. We will get through this TOGETHER. #TexasStrong

@dallasmavs Hi guys-
We'd love to build you a resource hub at no charge to build on this and do our small part to help grow the impact.
We'd also humbly suggest keeping the info up on the home page and add it to the community tab in the menu at a minimum.
We're with you TX.

We made a fun little way to 'bribe' your favorite players to come and play for your favorite pro sports team:
PlayForMyTeam .com: Support the charities and causes your favorite athlete loves. What city has the best fans with the biggest heart?
See it:

@IndieHackers Building and launching PlayForMyTeam .com to help fans convince @JJWatt which city wants him the most through donations to his charity @WattFoundation
We thought it would be fun to help fans recruit
@JJWatt to their team once we saw how they were trying to 'bribe' him with donations to his foundation.
So we made https://t.co/MBgeqUv8Ck
Send in screenshots of your donation receipts to the
@wattfoundation minus sensitive info
Once you've made the decision to build a Community Impact Resource Hub, it's the perfect time to look at your tentpole initiatives.
You should consider adding another.
It's a great way to build momentum into launching your hub and adds to your credibility.
The most underleveraged vertical and potential revenue stream in #sportsbiz is in Community Relations.
New fan engagement tech is great, but showing that you make a difference crushes.
A characteristic of people who work in community relations is their concern for others and empathy.
It can be tough right now with how many people need support.
But now is the time to hold fast.
Your voice in your organization is more important than ever.
