The Community Manager Handbook

The Community Manager Handbook: 20 Lessons from Community Superheroes combines research findings and advice from The Community Roundtable with short case studies and tips from some of the smartest community professionals in the space, for community managers looking to start, build and grow their communities. The superheroes include current and recent members of TheCR Network, sharing their tested approaches to address the challenges facing communities large and small, old and new.

The Community Manager Handbook was released in conjunction with a webinar sponsored by Higher Logic featuring Rachel Happe, Lauren Vargas of Aetna, J.J. Lovett of CA Technologies and Lesley Lykins of CXPA, all of whom are among those featured in the Handbook.
