I curated content and drove audience engagement for the association’s highly active online communities. And when I wasn't doing that, I wrote and edited for the association’s online and print communication products, including the monthly magazine, weekly and monthly email newsletters, and daily blog posts. Every day in this role was a new challenge. One I may have interviewed multiple sources for a magazine feature and help plan the social media campaign to promote an event. The next day I might have written blog posts about an election outcome, a regulatory agency’s rule change, or ways small-business owners can integrate new tech tools into their businesses.
