This week, we talk “community engagement professionals,” including the evolution of job titles, the vast responsibilities of the role, and how it can sometimes be a little tricky to define the work. We also clue you in to our newest publication, “The Community Engagement Professional’s Guidebook,” by Lina Dostilio and Marshall Welch and give an update on our community engagement professional credentialing program. Plus, meet the student composer who’s behind our new theme music.
