While my blog is directed at people running meetups, new member onboarding is a topic relevant to anyone building a community. Hope these ideas help others.
Even in the before times, being a new person at a meetup event was potentially an extremely overwhelming experience. Now that most group events and socializing are happening online it is even more important to make sure you as a group organizer have a plan for how to onboard new members and make them feel welcome.
Draft a plan, automate the execution, share the responsibilities, learn how to better serve your members.
