It feels like going committee-by-committee and homegroup-by-homegroup might be a better strategy than trying to do an open invitation.

The reason I think so is because groups are the primary thing that generate activity, so onboarding as a group is a way to make sure it feels useful right away. If your whole committee isn’t here then how can you get anything done? It can’t be a base of operations if people aren’t here. And that kinda needs to happen at once in order to abandon any existing group chats or facebook groups that exist.

We need to avoid the word-of-mouth effect where people say something like “I got on there but I wasn’t sure what to do” or “there wasn’t anything happening”. So it follows that we need to do this in a way that maxes out the likelihood that it’s obvious what to do because lots of stuff is happening.

I hope that made sense. Right now we’re onboarding Convention and I’m scheduled to talk at their next meeting. If that works, then we can follow that patterns with other committees. What do y’all think?
