Mini-workshop | Creating core values statements
2026-04-29 11:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Core values statements describe the values underpinning how community members would like to interact, and include a definition of each value as well as examples of what they look like in action. Core values statements are most effective when they are co-created with community members and are specific to the community, rather than re-using values statements that others have created. In this Mini-workshop, you will practice a process for developing core values that you can adapt for your own community.

Quarterly Skills Share Session | How to support a sense of belonging and productive community engagement - and measure them!
2026-06-03 11:00 - 12:30
Ensuring that your members feel like they belong and are empowered to engage in community activities is fundamental to community management. In this Quarterly Skills Share session, our speakers will discuss how to co-create codes of conduct that support inclusive engagement, different ways of assessing engagement and community health, and how to ensure that the meetings and events you host support your community’s purpose. We’ll consider these topics in the context of large, online communities as well as smaller, in-person gatherings, and will touch on themes from various CSCCE training courses including co-creation of community resources, designing community programming, and developing champions programs.
Speakers:

Kevin Gott (NERSC)
Rebecca Hartman-Baker (NERSC)
Mike Lipka (NASA)
Samantha Wittke (CSC – IT Center for Science, Finland)
