Community Managers on Why Training Makes a Difference

June 4, 2013 By Leanne Chase

It’s wonderful to see the growth and evolution in the community management space. So many companies are seeing the value of community and the value in services that support community managers. We are humbled by it and as we pass our four year mark supporting community managers we are very excited for the future. But we also have seen and discussed the dark side with our members. And we know that many community managers and organizations out there struggle with guidelines, best practices and real-world examples for how to get from A to B with their community initiatives. We’ve also seen the demand for community managers grow and organizations are struggling to find qualified candidates and train internal candidates who have expressed interest in community management.

For these reasons we partnered with WOMMA and Comblu in 2011 to put together a training program for community professionals by community professionals.  Register Today! Members of TheCR Network receive a discounted rate. Get in touch with us for the promo code.
