Community Leadership Forum

by | Wed 25 Jun 2014

A little while ago I set up the [Community Leadership Forum](https://www.communityleadershipforum.com/). The forum is designed to be a place where community leaders and managers can learn and share experience about how to grow fun, productive, and empowered communities.

The forum is open and accessible to all communities – technology, social, environmental, entertainment, or anything else. It is intended to be diverse and pull together a great set of people.

It is also designed to be another tool (in addition to the [Community Leadership Summit](https://www.communityleadershipsummit.com/)) to further the profession, art, and science of building great communities.

We are seeing some wonderful growth on the forum, and because the forum is powered by [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/) it is a simple pleasure to use.

I am also encouraging organizations who are looking for community managers to [share their job descriptions on the forum](https://www.communityleadershipforum.com/t/new-career-opportunites-category-for-community-management-jobs/143). This forum will be a strong place to find the best talent in community management and for the talent to [find great job opportunities](https://www.communityleadershipforum.com/category/career-opportunities).

I hope to see you there!
