•The old styles of community are still here
•Neighborhoods
•Churches
•Schools
•Towns
•Professional Organizations
![Page 7: Driving Community - Broadstreet Bridges](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5556d517d8b42ad94d8b5654/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But They Have Expanded!
•On-line Schools, Churches, Communities
•Shops market to people around the world.
•Small communities can become large.
•Large communities can topple governments.
•Sometimes it is hard to be heard amongst all the voices.

But They Have Also Contracted
•We know more about each other.
•Our families can be closer - and so can our customers.
•We can fill what were quiet hours with noise.
•A buyer can find what they want instead of what is merely available.

What To Do
1. Clarify who our community really is...
Why are they our community?
What does this community need?
What can we offer them?
How can we lead and guide them?
![Page 11: Driving Community - Broadstreet Bridges](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5556d517d8b42ad94d8b5654/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What To Do
2. How Does This Community Communicate?
What are the demographics?
Do they respond to emotion, facts, art?
How do they deal with new information?
What is the best way for us to talk to them?

What To Do3. Listen!
Really listen. Shut up! Just listen.
Use any sort of feedback available.
The community is already talking....
Don’t we want to be part of the conversation?

What To Do
4. Acknowledge that this is a continual process
Keep listening and evaluating.
Seek feedback whenever possible.
Pay attention to all the new cool stuff.
But never forget your core value to your community.
