What is community?

The word “community” has been stretched, commodified, and applied to everything from brand loyalty programs to social media followings. In the process, its meaning has been diluted. It’s time to reclaim it. You're invited to an upcoming livestream event to talk about what that means. Join us for an honest conversation about what community really means, why it matters, and how leaders can foster it in a world where connection is often confused with convenience. This event will cut through the noise to explore the essence of belonging, responsibility, and shared purpose. We’ll examine the difference between networks and communities, and discuss why transactional relationships will never replace authentic bonds. Participants will be challenged to think critically about their own leadership, their organizations, and the role they play in building spaces where people can show up fully as themselves. Whether you’re leading a company, building a movement, or searching for a sense of belonging in your own life, this conversation will offer both inspiration and a practical perspective. Community, after all, is not guaranteed — it must be nurtured, protected, and reimagined for each generation. The question is not simply whether we want community but, as Benjamin Franklin said about our Republic, whether we can keep it.
