About
A live webinar with Interwoven Co-Founder
Michaela Nee
This session is part of a monthly webinar series co-produced by
Heylo
and the
US Chamber of Connection
, designed to give community builders practical skills to bring their people together better.
People join communities to be part of something greater than themselves, but the way you welcome them deeply impacts their sense of belonging. From how you talk about your community, to aligning on values, to onboarding new members (and beyond), there are countless opportunities to bring people into the fold of what you're building.
In this session, Michaela will share examples from Interwoven, a member-based community for culturally and racially mixed people in San Francisco, about how to welcome and embrace new members in ways that build depthful relationships and a real sense of belonging.
This webinar is for community builders who want to design intentional onboarding experiences that turn new members into long-term, deeply engaged community.
What we'll cover
•
How to talk about your community externally to find your people
•
The importance of beginnings when welcoming new members
•
Examples of membership applications and onboarding flows
•
Ways to integrate new members amongst the old, and keep the energy going
