Happy Community Manager Appreciation Day (#CMAD)!
As I sat down to write a blog post dedicated to celebrating community managers - this fantastic, rewarding and often misunderstood profession, I realized that there are few professions (and professionals) as impassioned as a Community Manager. Left-brain, right-brain, artist, scientist, pioneer, organizational change agent - the job is all that, and more. So, in lieu of trying to write about my appreciative thoughts today, I have gathered a few of my favorite blog posts about being a Community Manager from my blog archives that I believe represent the spirit and joys of the role.
