Hi friends!

Here’s what we’re building, exploring, and learning together this week:

🌸 For International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting 250+ women shaping the community industry worldwide. Explore the directory and meet the leaders behind thriving communities.

🎥 Missed Tom Ross live? He shared his Community Compass Framework and practical strategies to build a thriving, profitable membership community in 2026. Watch the replay.

🎙️ Next up: Talks & Pros with Sarah Greisdorf. A deep dive into turning members into co-creators and building partnerships that actually scale. Save your spot and come curious.

🏔️ Our Denver Chapter is gathering for a fireside chat on post-sales strategy for community managers — exploring how community fits into customer success, impact measurement, and long-term value creation. If you’re local, we’d love to see you there.

🛠️ Got an idea your community needs? Turn it into a working prototype in just 3 hours — no coding required. Join our AI Lovable Hackathon.

💬 Prerak Gala reflects on navigating institutional complexity and why curiosity, patience, and ownership matter in community building. His journey is thoughtful, honest, and full of insight. Read here.

📚 New tools and reflections from Discourse, Bettermode, Higher Logic, Gainsight, Rosieland, and more. Dive in.

🧭 Playbook of the week: From Attendees to Advocates by Bri Leever. Explore how pop-up communities, storytelling, and thoughtful follow-ups can turn one-off gatherings into lasting engagement.

Stories, resources, and opportunities await — keep scrolling.

With love,
Francisco, Paôla & the Led by Community Team of Volunteers

AI isn’t just reshaping search it’s raising the bar for how Community knowledge is structured and surfaced. If your community still relies on scattered threads, unclear answers, or siloed hubs, this shift will expose those gaps quickly. Join Gainsight’s digital event on April 9th to hear from experts and learn how Community leaders are turning fragmented conversations into structured knowledge ecosystems built for the AI era.

Hey Community Heroes, It’s Francisco Founder of Led by Community C.I.C

I’m writing this as an open letter to every Led by Community reader.

For more than three years, I’ve put my own time, money, and energy into building Led by Community.

I did it because community builders deserve support, peers, and practical help.

Today, Led by Community is bigger than just me.

It takes a team to run the programmes, the community, the events, the mentorship, and the behind-the-scenes work that makes it all feel simple.

A lot of what we deliver has been free.

Free sessions.

Free resources.

Free support.

And yes, we also tried to make Community Week work as a paid conference.

Some people assume that conference revenue should cover everything.

At times, it has helped.

It has covered part of the cost of keeping the lights on.

But here’s the truth.

Running a bootstrapped conference while building a community is brutally hard.

We still chose to give many free tickets for Community Week in London and Toronto.

Because we care about access, not just revenue.

In July, Led by Community became a mission-driven non-profit.

We have tried to make it easy for members to contribute.

But we have not yet created consistent monetary support.

And without that, we are risking the thing we all rely on.

Our Impact

Over 6,000 community builders have RSVPed to our events globally only in 2025.

That number matters, because it proves the impact is real.

So I need to ask for help.

If Led by Community has helped you feel less alone in your role, learn faster, or make better decisions at work, please contribute what you can.

Even $10 helps.

If you’ve been benefiting quietly, this is the moment to step in and help carry it.

A community is like a potluck dinner. It only works when more than one person brings the food.

What your contribution supports

It helps us pay for:

• The people running programmes, events, and operations.

• Tools and platforms that keep the community running.

• Speaker and mentor logistics.

• The time it takes to keep quality high, week after week.

How to support

Option 1: Give $10 as a one-off contribution.

Option 2: Give a little every month.

Option 3: If you can do more, you will be directly funding more free value for others.

Note: We use a system Open Collective to keep our finances and support contributions transparent. You'll be taken there to contribute.

I wish I didn’t need to send this email.

But I’d rather be honest than pretend we can keep stretching forever.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for being here.

And thank you, genuinely, if you choose to support Led by Community today.

Your friend,
Francisco Opazo
Founder, Led by Community

From time-consuming guesswork to a data-driven process with measurable business value

History has handed down to us the names of great navigators—Magellan, Columbus, Vasco da Gama. Their exploits are dazzling: they discovered new trade routes and entire continents using only primitive maps, wooden ships, and a will of steel.

A builder of empathy, safety, and belonging, Ishani brings years of experience at the intersection of mental health and community leadership. Rooted in lived experience and intentional leadership, her work shows that strong communities aren’t built on strategy alone — they’re built on compassion.

Her journey into community work began early, shaped by personal experiences in mental health spaces. Volunteering quickly became a calling, allowing her to combine her psychology background with her ability to nurture trust-led, human-centered ecosystems.

Today, as a Senior Community Manager and Mental Health Coach at Wisdo Health, Ishani creates environments where people feel safe to show up as themselves — and supported enough to grow. Across global and Indian organizations, she has led communities in mental health, wellness, and professional spaces, always centering care beyond metrics.

What is the minimum list of actions one needs to take on to build a gaming community effectively?

I think everyone would agree that before you begin a battle, you need to understand the area, at least roughly. The same goes for community development: Before you start you need to have a plan of actions. Below I’ve listed themes I think are worth focusing on if you are at the beginning of your “community” journey. I tried to keep this article as brief as possible. If you’d like to learn more about building online communities, please take a look at my book! So, what do you need to work on i...

Paras’ journey began in the fast-paced startup scene of Bangalore—a world that pushed him to achieve more, faster. But somewhere along the way, he realized the beauty of slowing down. That turning point led him to Goa, where he built Swakaash, India’s first slow-living movement, helping people pause, reconnect, and live more mindfully.

Through retreats, coaching, and meaningful conversations, Paras brings humans together to breathe, reset, and rediscover what truly matters. Having worked with global brands like Microsoft and Facebook, he continues to nurture spaces rooted in empathy, growth, and gratitude.

His advice for community builders: “Interact more with your members. Pick one member each day and have a real conversation. Once trust builds, engagement naturally follows.”

Awantika is a vibrant community builder shaping ecosystems at the intersection of technology and people. From leading technical student teams in Singapore to driving developer engagement at KodeKloud, and now managing communities at Refact.ai while contributing to The Community Collective, her journey reflects curiosity, resilience, and a deep passion for empowering others.

She blends technical depth with human connection—creating safe, engaging spaces where developers feel heard, supported, and inspired to grow. For Awantika, community is about belonging: helping people see that they’re part of something bigger than themselves.

Her advice for builders? “Turn members into co-owners of the community. When people see their fingerprints on it, they stay, contribute, and bring others along.”
