Community Spotlight Engagement is a simple, relationship-building activity designed to highlight the people and businesses connected to your branch while creating meaningful interactions with members and visitors.
This rotating spotlight can feature a variety of individuals, such as a small business owner, a new member or customer, a branch employee, or a community partner. Each spotlight includes a photo, a short story or fun facts, and a personal detail such as a favorite snack, hobby, or interest.
Branches can incorporate a small interactive element by offering the featured person’s favorite candy or snack, or by inviting visitors to engage with the spotlight through a question or conversation starter.
