🌟 A Toast to Transformative Relationships: Victoria Kammerzell C. & the Spirit of Community 🌟 Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of visionary ideas, my recent luncheon with Victoria Kamm-Chavez was not just a meeting of minds but a celebration of the heart. It is relationships like the one forged with Victoria that highlight the extraordinary impact of genuine connection in the realm of community outreach. Victoria, with her unparalleled blend of leadership, empathy, and strategic insight, embodies the essence of a community catalyst. Her commitment to excellence and the Platinum Rule—treating others with the specific respect and loyalty they seek—sets a benchmark in both business development and community engagement. Our partnership is more than a business endeavor; it’s a testament to the power of collaboration in making a tangible difference. Victoria’s role as a bridge builder in community relations exemplifies how relationships rooted in mutual respect and shared goals can illuminate the path to collective success. Reflecting on our conversations, filled with potential and promise, I am filled with gratitude. It is indeed the special bond we share and the shared commitment to uplifting our communities that make outreach so impactful and fulfilling. Here’s to the journey ahead with Victoria Kamm-Chavez—may our collaboration continue to inspire and make waves in the community we are both so passionate about serving. Together, we are not just aiming for success but for significance. #CommunityImpact #PartnershipForChange #VictoriaKammChavez #LeadershipInAction #GratitudeInCollaboration

This this this. Be magnanimous with your community members. That can look like: * Public recognition, thank you notes, shout outs * Early access to new features * Introductions to key people in members' field, mentors, or regular networking events * Resource sharing * Case studies (shine your company/brand spotlight on them!) * Events (special events just for ambassadors or champions) * Investing in training and skill development opportunities: show commitment to members' growth

For our May newsletter poll question of the month, we asked: “When you walk into a room full of people you don’t know, what is your go-to networking question for getting conversations started?” Our two most popular answers were: - (66%) Ask a general question, ex: Where are you from? Is this your first conference? What do you do for a living? And, - (26%) Ask a question specific to the conference that you’re at, ex: Did you see the plenary speaker? What would YOUR answer be to our poll question from last month? Let us know below! 👇 Want to receive our monthly newsletters and participate in the monthly poll questions?
