Community Club - Local Connections Working Group kickoff # 2

​Join the first meeting of the Local Connections Working Group! As online community professionals, we possess a wealth of skills that can be beneficial to our local communities. This working group aims to support those who wish to apply these skills locally but aren't sure how to do so.

​Kickoff is to connect with other people in the group and start off a collaborative process that will continue in a dedicated slack channel.
