Executive summary: In the second year after founding EA Hungary, the group grew significantly through university outreach and courses, while facing challenges with hiring, management, marketing, and community health.
Key points:
Ran intro and in-depth fellowships each semester with decent attendance, while struggling with consistent marketing and measuring impact.
Hosted events like talks, conferences, meetups, and socials with varying levels of success.
Faced issues with wanting to expand staff too quickly without proper management skills. Learned the importance of regular check-ins and clear expectations.
Community health challenges emerged, requiring help from CEA’s team. Could have been more proactive with minor issues.
Planning to focus more on online presence and optimizing social media ads to improve marketing of intro programs.
Writing reports and newsletters took substantial time; uncertain if fully worthwhile.
Made mistakes but learned a lot about community building strategy. Enthusiastic to continue carefully growing the organization.
