Announcing… PBFA’s New and Improved Community Board!
Written by: Annie Taranshansky
Are you a PBFA member with some exciting news to share with the Community? Perhaps your company launched a new product, expanded your facilities, published a press release, or opened up an exciting job opportunity… we want to help amplify your news! The PBFA team is excited to announce a new and improved process for our PBFA member Community Board – one where members are in the driver’s seat.
So what’s new? In keeping with the name, we’ve translated our monthly member Community Board newsletter into a live, bulletin-board, nestled conveniently under the Community section of the Member Portal. Now, members don’t have to wait until the middle of the month to learn about what’s going on in our community or to share exciting news.
Member New Submissions
We’ve created a detailed submission form that directly populates into the “Member-to-Member News” bulletin board in the Community Board page of the Member Portal – just like that. This is a great way for members to advertise their latest wins and cross promote industry opportunities – collectively building the strength of our industry.
Because this entire process is now automated and member-led, it's important to ensure that all of your information is accurate and ready to share; before you hit submit, make sure to double-check your deadlines, links, and descriptions! And with that, go ahead and spread your word, because your news deserves to be celebrated, throughout the PBFA Community, the plant-based foods industry, and beyond.
Track Member Exclusive Opportunities
The PBFA team will regularly post member-exclusive opportunities to help advance your business and build community: This can look like shopper marketing opportunities, discounted trade show booths/attendee badges, calls to get involved with our policy work, and much, much more. Simply toggle to the “PBFA Organization Opportunities” bulletin board for these opportunities. Make sure to bookmark both the submission page and the bulletin board to access these tools as fast as you need to get the word out.
Amplifying the Latest
That’s not all: All submissions will automatically be shared out via the #community-board channel in our member-exclusive Slack community, PBFA Connects, reaching hundreds of fellow community members as soon they’re submitted. Members can sign up today!
