I’ve noticed local role models in your community are important in addition to the big-name leaders that you mentioned. I’m a community builder in Finland, and members of our community have often said that seeing and talking to people from the same country who do impressive stuff has helped them be more ambitious in their careers or even consider that they can have an impact instead of just being passive observers of EA.
This is true, we also had some people who shared that attending EAGx helped them to see clearer other cause areas, especially what is being done by local organizations in the region. We just started with some known leaders, but it will be great to know the local leaders, and we believe they bring great value as big-name leaders.
