Unfortunately, I’ve been waiting until evening to write most of my blog posts for Reverb 10. Not sure if that’s positively or negatively impacting the number of readers, but it’s too hard to find time during the day!

Prompt: Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

One of my goals for this year was to “build and grow relationships.” Meeting new people is something that I’m not entirely comfortable with. However, thanks to industry networking events and informal gatherings, I have been forced into meeting new people. And it’s been a great experience.

I’ve met amazing people, fine-tuned informal conversation skills and made lasting connections with my peers.

In 2011, I hope to explore the nonprofit communities that exist in the Twin Cities. There are great events, Twitter chats and organizations that connect nonprofit professionals. In addition, I am hoping to join a professional organization focused on marketing and public relations professionals. These groups offer unique opportunities to meet like-minded individuals, learn new things and develop skills. I can’t wait to see what kind of amazing people I meet in the upcoming year.
