INETA Community Champions Program
Today I received an automated email notification from INETA site in which my dear friend and community leader, David Silverlight, had listed me in the list of recipients who can promote newest community program by INETA.
This program is called INETA Community Champions and is designed to promote active INETA members and speakers.
Even though the program seems to target North America region and I can’t participate but I thought it’s good to help the program and write about it to help guys at INETA.
There is an official page with description about the program on INETA site and Dave has also a descriptive blog post about it on Community Credit blog.
The program focuses recipients on activities around the INETA user groups such as speaking, managing meetings or introducing speakers. Based on different activity types, you can get different numerical points to achieve one of the top positions and qualify for the INETA awards (this is very similar to pointing system on Community Credit). In my opinion this is an excellent program that can promote the user groups very much especially by encouraging more members to contribute that can bring more minds hence more quality to the community.
Program consists of two smaller programs including Community Champions and Community Excellence awards. The first was and the main one was what I described above and the second one is the program that other members nominate the most active members and honor them to get awards.
As you may know, recently INETA had a major reform in its leadership group and new guys got in the team. One of them was Dave who had proven his success in activating the community in several ways including the unique and interesting idea of Community Credit site. Dave is the Vise President of Marketing at INETA and I have no doubt that this program is mainly organized by him. Even when you want to submit your points to the program, you need to send them via a page hosted on Community Credit!
However, if you reside in North America (as I know over %80 of my visitors do), it’s worthwhile to participate in the program both to help the community and to win the great prizes!
