Is there actually a community here?

As an incoming LN chair, I joined this community in the hope of finding an active and supportive community of practice. Instead I find a desert with the last post/response made early 2016.

Doesn’t fill me with confidence that the IET Volunteering community does what it says on the tin!

We do compare experiences with neighbouring networks at regional meetings, and keep pretty busy keeping our network alive, so speaking personally I can't spare much time for this online forum. What would you like to see here?

the community is virtual in both senses of the word:

1. carried out, accessed, or stored by means of a computer, especially over a network

2. almost or nearly as described, but not completely or according to strict definition!!

If you are looking for ideas take a look at what other LN communities are doing e.g. www.theIET.org/SoCal or their most recent blog post: Reflections From An IET Volunteer On LN Community Activities..

Get to know the IET Communities team they are a great resource http://www.theiet.org/volunteers/active/how-iet-works/communities-contacts.cfm
