From Higher Logic by Higher Logic
- Find your super-members through community analytics (who posts, who helps, who flags problems), not gut feel, then reach out personally rather than with a mass ask.

- Prevent burnout on purpose: offer opt-out every six months and check in regularly, because recognition and feeling valued keep people longer than any prize.
