Managing Online Communities

Many nonprofits are discovering opportunities for enhancing relationships and advocacy with supporters through online communities.
When building your own community you are giving people a place to meet, connect, share their thoughts and ideas, have conversations and
build relationships. Avoid the “trial and error” approach that so many organizations take to learn community management. Through the use of best practice guidelines, examples and case scenarios this session will provide you with a framework to successfully build and manage your own online community.

Learn and get answers to questions including:

What is a “house” or “branded” online community?
Can an online community help our organization be more effective?
How to think through our community’s purpose?
What are the benefits of building an online community?
How can we provide value and benefits to our community?
What are the rules for engagement?
What characteristics do we look for in a community manager?
What level of resources and effort will an online community require?
What are the technology options?
How can we financially support the community?
How do we keep our community active and relevant?
