Thriving Together: The Arb is now officially 10,000 Members Strong! 🎉

This past week, we celebrated Thanksgiving in the United States, and are definitely still very much in gratitude mode. And what’s making us at Team Arb even more grateful is YOU - our members. We are thrilled to announce that YOUR community—The Arboretum is now officially 10,000 members strong! 🎊

This is such a remarkable milestone, and one that each of you has played a role in. You and 10,000 other social media and marketing professionals have come together to connect and grow in one single community. You chimed into conversations, helped peers out, sought advice, shared ideas, participated in community events, and even helped welcome new members. You all have helped make The Arb a safe “third” space for your peers - a place with the intention of work, but without the pressure of work.

We truly couldn’t have done any of this without you and your participation in this community! You make this community what it is. 

So without further ado, please join us in welcoming our 10,000th member, @charlotte.kirkham. 🎉 

Welcome to The Arb, Charlotte! So glad you’re here, and can’t wait to hear more from you. 👋

Ever since we opened the doors of The Arb, there have been SO many of you that have chipped in, chimed in, and helped shape this community. We see, hear, and appreciate you all. From the ones who’ve been here right from the early days of The Arb, to the ones who are newer members of this community. I’m going to try and sneak in some well-deserved shoutouts to as many as possible in here:

Thank you for the shout out! I always think it is cool when I can actually get @mary on any platform. 😉

Congratulations!

Thanks for being here, right from the start, @mary! Also, I’m with you on the handle - I’ve always secretly wanted to channel my inner Beyoncé too: No last name needed. 😉
