On board with you there! I think there’s a lot of great people already trying to do that, like yourself or Catherine Low, but perhaps to inconsistent effect. This might warrant me sitting down with my group and trying to figure out how we got motivated to organize in the first place. : )
Completely not surprised by your experience re: community building being rewarding. As someone who’s been very connected to non-EA communities in the past, I definitely think community-building doesn’t need to compromise non-community-building priorities! After all, you’re directly shaping the future of the EA community and testing the messaging of EA on-the-ground and building connections throughout. Truly, community organizers are doing so many things all at once.
Again, very inspired by your + your group’s example. So grateful for all the work you do to publicize your experiences and spread best practices!
