2/3 of TheCR Team at The Anniversary Happy Hour

This week we were lucky enough to celebrate our fifth anniversary! We gathered with good friends and members at the Summer Shack in Cambridge, MA (the site of some of the very first TheCR Lives!) and shared cupcakes, beer and memories. You can check out pictures from the party on our facebook page.

All month we’ve been looking back at the last five years in the community world and honestly, it’s ok to get a little teary. We’re so proud of the friends we’ve made, the companies we’ve collaborated with and the community managers we support every day. Ok, enough mushy stuff.

This week the links are heavy on community jobs – 20 in fact!  There are so many cool opportunities out there for community and social business professionals right now – it’s definitely an exciting time to be in the space.

The First TheCR Live - Five Years Ago

The First TheCR Live – Five Years Ago

Yesterday we shared this picture via twitter in honor of #tbt (throwback thursday) of Rachel and Jim at our very first TheCRLive, at the Barking Crab in Boston, MA. It’s hard to believe that was five years ago. This month we’ve been looking back at those five years though interviews with veteran community practitioners (so far we’ve chatted with Heather and Nigel), a podcast series with our founders and a fun infographic of our favorite milestones.

You can catch up on any content you missed in our links, find new community jobs, and more!

Stay tuned for the final two parts in the founders podcast series, another interview with a community manager and a podcast with a very special guest!  Have a great weekend!
