Hello

If your member community disappeared tomorrow, what would members miss most?

  • Would they miss a place to get trusted answers?
  • A place to hear from peers?
  • A place to continue conversations after events?
  • A place to feel connected between meetings?
  • Or would they struggle to recognize what they’re missing?

A community can exist, members can have access, content can be posted, events can happen. And still, the value may not be clear enough to members, staff, or leadership.

Your efforts in building and maintaining the community haven’t been a waste. You just need to make the value clearer, and you need a structured approach to make that happen.

That is why we created the 5P Framework. This simple structure helps association teams look at five key areas that shape whether a community becomes something members use, value, and return to day after day:

Purpose
People
Participation
Process
Proof

Read our latest blog to see where community value can break down, and how the 5Ps help you identify what to strengthen next.

Best,
The Sengii Team
