Congratulations to Top Contributors in the Community Center

[Rebecca]

We’re excited to welcome an incredible group of Top Contributors and celebrate the positive impact they bring to our community.🎉 

To those continuing as Top Contributors, thank you for your ongoing dedication and the guidance you provide - it helps fellow hosts every day. And to last season’s Top Contributors, we appreciate all your contributions and the difference you've made.

Your kindness, knowledge, and experiences are what make the Community Center such a special space. We’re grateful for everything you share . 

Top Contributors are selected for their active engagement and commitment to knowledge-sharing in the Community Center. We recognize these hosts who consistently create a positive impact by helping the Community Center thrive as a hub for learning and collaboration.

Top Contributors will have a special label on their Community Center profiles to highlight their dedication. Top Contributors are reassessed every six months and there is no obligation to participate. To learn more about the program, visit the original post about Top Contributors.

Can I ask how you define is 'top contributor' - one mentioned here has made only seven posts. @Rebecca  and less than a hundred replies .

I would imagine there are many who post here who have made that sort of contribution 😀

[Rebecca]

Hello @Helen3  👋

Fair question. We're very confident all the hosts in this group deserve the title Top Contributor – we've done a very thorough review! Bear in mind all content matters, both discussions started and replies. 

It's the quality of the advice what matters to be a Top Contributor, not the quantity. Some hosts hit both, quality and quantity! Some might be a little less active but their post are very meaningful. 

Hope that helps clarify a bit. 😊

Hello @Rebecca 

I'm not on the list, does that mean I've lost my title?!

[Rebecca]

I'm very sorry @Joelle43, I missed your name in all the excitement of congratulating you all and because you're also announced in the French Community Center. 

I have amended the list here though - congratulations again! 🎉 

[Joelle43]

Thank you @Rebecca 😍 To be honest, the anglophone CC is much busier than the French one and being bilingual I love the fact that I can switch from one to the other😂  I've learnt so much here thanks to the other great hosts

[Helen3]

I agree you absolutely should be... you always offer such great advice . @Joelle43 

[Joelle43]

Thank you @Helen3 - so nice of you to say so and the feeling is mutual😊

[Marie8425]

 @Rebecca 

Thank you

[Rebecca]

You're very welcome @Marie8425. Keep up the amazing contributions! 😊🙌

[Frances3408]

@Rebecca . Thanks! Am I being cheeky in pointing out the gender imbalance in your list? I personally think those of a female persuasion are better communicators. Of course they broke the mould with @Robin4  😉

[Rebecca]

Haha @Frances3408!  Whilst this may be the case in the English Community Center, if you total up the number across all Community Centers, you'll find that there is a good balance gender wise. However we only look mainly at the quality of the contributions when choosing Top Contributors. 😅 

[Guy991]

Hello @Rebecca ,

Thank you to you and all the admins for keeping this space safe and welcoming! I’m honored to be recognized and feel like I’m just giving back a fraction of what I’ve gained from this incredible community. I will never forget the advice I got from a host here on a question I had before my first guest arrived—that was the moment I understood how important this community truly is. I hope new hosts are encouraged to join and explore the Community Center—it’s the best place to learn how to host. Grateful to be part of it!

[Rebecca]

@Guy991 thank you so much for your contributions and we're so glad that the Community Center was there to support you in those early days, as well as ongoing. We look forward to welcoming more new hosts and sharing the community spirit!
