Do you want to be the #eventprofs community manager?

I would like to thank everyone who provided their thoughts and opinions about the future of the #eventprofs chats. I heard from about 35 of you and the feedback was definitive:

  • All of you want the return of the chats (although many of you would like to reduce the chats to 1x / week)
  • All of you (except one) agreed that having a Community Manager is a necessity to keep the chats going

Given your feedback, I have pulled together a Job Description for the Community Manager based on my year and a half of experience retaining this role.

  1. The position will be a 3 month term. And, the outgoing CM will select the incoming CM to ensure a seamless transition. All past-CMs will retain an Advisory role for a year to participate in annual or bi-annual community discussions.
  2. I am committed to being an advisor to the CM (to ensure continuity) and will also maintain my role overseeing the annual #eventprofs Blog Awards.
  3. The chats will be changed to 1x / week. (This is how #eventprofs started and we moved to twice a week to ensure that our friends oversees could participate. We will actively monitor this to ensure we are serving the needs of the larger community).
