Depending on the size and nature of the event, they can receive individualized support from different CEA staff working on community development, such as Harri, Amy, Julia, and/​or Larissa.
Could you say more about what kind of (smaller, local, non-EAGx) events CEA would like to see/​would be interested in providing support for?
In brief, large speaker events and workshops, depending on the needs of a local group. Perhaps self-evidently, large speaker events are best for nascent chapters trying to attract interest; workshops for augmenting the engagement and/​or skill of existing members. There’s some information about this in the Organizer FAQ, as well a prompts about this in the EAGx organizer application and on the “Get Involved’ tab of effectivealtruism.org.
