Hello Everyone
I am Sahil Barde, local guide level 7 and I am very excited to create my local guide community in Warora city so that local guides can connect but, I want some help from any moderator who will guide and connect to me for organising meet ups and events. I don’t know were to start so please any one of moderator can contact me.
Thank you.
Hello @SahilBarde
You are welcome back again to connect. We hope you will stay active and enjoy connect more this time around. That’s a very good question you asked and thank you for asking.
It’s a good thing to want to create a community of local guides in your immediate geographical region. We have such groups here in Nigeria. Groups like WhatsApp Telegram Facebook etc. Have you tried asking on those social media’s I mentioned above. Try searching or asking for anyone local guides who will be interested to form a community and interactions with you.
That said I’ll propose this post written by a very vibrant Indian moderator and exceptional local guide How-to-Connect-with-Local-Guides-in-Your-Area-7-Pro-Tips. @TusharSuradkar himself might like to interact with you. I have tagged him.
Have you introduced yourself on the **Introduce-Yourself-March-2024-thread ? **It might be necessary to do so. That is one avenue of meeting other local guides here on connect. You can also make yourself known to them.Please kindly do so. Here is a **Welcome-to-Connect-Card for you ! **Hope you will like and explore it. IIt’s a quick orientation course about connect. See you around on the forum and keep active.
Happy guiding
Cheers

And for sure you want to provide some sticker to the participants, and some graphic to use for your post and for the event. Here is the link to Introducing updated program resources for you to use
After the meet-up please let us know how it was. How do I write a great meet-up recap? . The post will create more engagement and attention on your community. Share the post with them, so that the participants can share their experience too.
