Community
My slogan is, "Bring us together, make things better".
I've had several professional community roles.
My first was in 2014 at the Government Digital Service where I:
built the Service Manager community,
edited and published the GOV.UK:
Originally written by Meg Pickard, these 2 pieces of guidance help develop communities of practice in government. Much of it can be applied to other communities, especially the 3 P's of people, programme and platforms.
I've collaborated on guidance and training courses structures for community professionals, most notably with Rosieland.
Current communities
I help run:
The Community Community (TCC) for Community Professionals, where I'm Events Lead with the TCC Leadership Team,
United Kingdom Government Camp (UKGovCamp) where I'm Delivery Manager (aka Lead Organiser) and Grant Fund co-manager (I'll transition from these to Treasurer in 2025),
Apolitical's Community Building in Government community, where I'm an forum administrator, event facilitator and trainee podcast producer.
