Cultivating Community:
How to Build an Active and Engaged Group
Regina Walton
SFTech4Good, organizer, and
Marketing Director, Pole To Win International
@ReginaWalton on Twitter

What is SFTech4Good?
Founded in 2006 is the first Netsquared group. We
meet to discuss the intersection of tech and social
good.
• I’ve been an organizer since 2011
• Grown from 1600 members to over 3,800

Netsquared - sponsored by
“NetSquared gathers together nonprofits and
activists, tech leaders and funders, and
everyone who's interested in using
technology for social change.”

501 Tech Clubs - sponsored by
“501 Tech Clubs are informal, local groups of
nonprofit techies that get together for regular
in-person gatherings”

The Netsquared groups and 501 Tech Clubs
have similar missions, so we merged in
2013 and changed our name from
SFNetSquared to SFTech4Good.

Tips for keeping a group engaged
around an idea or cause.

• Be involved
Align yourself with a mission you're vested in.

• Use your personal network to grow your
community and spread the word

• Experiment
Be open to change and churn; it happens

• Share and repurpose
“Give members who can't attend a way to participate
from afar - Livestream, Hashtag(s) for the event,
Storify afterward.
Definitely post photos that people can share and tag
afterward.” – @Amy Vernon

• Steal and share great ideas
• Other events and Meetups
• Social posts: Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, etc.

“Know that there are some online community members
who are never going to come offline. And that's fine.
There also are some offline community members who
will never be active (though they'll be paying attention)
online. Accept that.” – Amy Vernon

“Nurture those online community members who are
really into what you're doing. Empower them as
leaders and give them responsibility that they're
interested in/willing to take on.” – Amy Vernon

It's Not Too Late! 5 Steps to Close Out 2015 Strong with Year End Giving

Kate Rose went over a step-by-step look at the importance of year-end giving, advice for setting the right goal, tips on choosing a theme, and guidance to find ways (through social media) to have a successful fundraising campaign to close out 2015.

CanadaHelps / MyCharityConnects

Congratulations, you have an online community! Odds are, you also have an offline community. Are you using one to strengthen the other? Most of the organizations I work with in my practice already have all the ingredients in place for a real, vibrant community that lives on and off line. Too often though, on- and offline are treated as separate worlds, with little effort made to bridge the gap. Communities thrive when there is varied and ongoing interaction. Merging physical and non-physical conversations, events, and activities is one of the strongest tactics for building community in the real world. In this session, we'll talk about how communities form, the ingredients for engagement, the importance of culture, and tactics for bridging the gap. Takeaways: - An understanding of the different types and benefits of online and offline communities - Tactics to kickstart their online and offline communities - Ways to engage their communities both online and offline

Use it to find new supporters and remind existing supporters why they made a smart choice. In the age of the social web, social proof is the new marketing.

Cultivating Community: How to Build an Active and Engaged Group

1. Cultivating Community: How to Build an Active and Engaged Group Regina Walton SFTech4Good, organizer, and Marketing Director, Pole To Win International @ReginaWalton on Twitter

2. What is SFTech4Good? Founded in 2006 is the first Netsquared group. We meet to discuss the intersection of tech and social good. • I’ve been an organizer since 2011 • Grown from 1600 members to over 3,800

3. SFTech4Good • One venue to over ten:

4. Netsquared - sponsored by “NetSquared gathers together nonprofits and activists, tech leaders and funders, and everyone who's interested in using technology for social change.”

5. 501 Tech Clubs - sponsored by “501 Tech Clubs are informal, local groups of nonprofit techies that get together for regular in-person gatherings”

6. The Netsquared groups and 501 Tech Clubs have similar missions, so we merged in 2013 and changed our name from SFNetSquared to SFTech4Good.

8. Tips for keeping a group engaged around an idea or cause.

10. • Be involved Align yourself with a mission you're vested in.

11.

12. • Be consistent

13.

14. • Listen and pay attention

15.

16. • Use your personal network to grow your community and spread the word

17.

18. • Experiment Be open to change and churn; it happens

19.

20. • Share and repurpose “Give members who can't attend a way to participate from afar - Livestream, Hashtag(s) for the event, Storify afterward. Definitely post photos that people can share and tag afterward.” – @Amy Vernon

21.

22.

23. • Steal and share great ideas • Other events and Meetups • Social posts: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

24. .

25. “Know that there are some online community members who are never going to come offline. And that's fine. There also are some offline community members who will never be active (though they'll be paying attention) online. Accept that.” – Amy Vernon

26. “Nurture those online community members who are really into what you're doing. Empower them as leaders and give them responsibility that they're interested in/willing to take on.” – Amy Vernon
