Resource: Community Health Check

Do you know the state of your community right now? How are the engagement levels going with members? What are they enjoying? What are they not enjoying?

If you're keen to figure this out, it’s time for a community health check.

Read up on how to conduct one and the questions to ask in this article written by Osioke Itseuwa and Justin DiRose published on Discourse.

You'll find everything you need to hit the ground running to reveal how your community is actually going. Enjoy 🔥
