Whether you belong to a cosy book club, a high performing sports team or a dynamic business network, what unites your community is a common purpose, interest or objective.
At Made Open, we're dedicated to empowering communities to reach greater collective success. Why? Because we've seen firsthand the remarkable impact it has on individuals when communities thrive.
In this newsletter, we share stories from organisations leveraging our community software, provide links to the newest blogs in our 'Building Better Communities' series, and extend a warm invitation for you to join our upcoming webinar. We hope you enjoy!
