Hi there. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Josh Johnson and I’m the Community Manager for Velo’s Developer Relations Team. I’m here to tell you about our new Community Leaders Program.

Whether you’re a self-taught developer, student, seasoned professional or some combination, we’re looking to partner with you to facilitate the work you’re already doing in the web dev community. Do you love making videos? Then let’s collaborate on creative direction and resources. Are you an event organizer? We’re here to support your efforts.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for our most passionate users that speak and advocate on behalf of Velo. These users help spread the word about our developer-focused products through content, social media and conferences. While we have some baseline criteria for who is accepted as a Community Leader, we will always look for ways to include you in the movement.

Some key qualifiers:

• Leader of a developer group

• Willing to organize local events and meetups

• Big on social media

• Enjoy producing content such as videos and tutorials

• Advanced web development experience (preferably cross-platform)

What is Velo's role?

We will create space for newcomers and pros alike. We’ll leverage bidirectional channels between the Velo developer community and the Velo by Wix company. And we’ll get you exposure and sponsorships at key events, both industry and local.

Here are some examples of how we help our Community Leaders:

• Connecting you with early access to new Velo features

• Facilitating product roundtables with Velo by Wix staff

• Helping to sponsor and strengthen your events

• Supporting you on social media (yours and ours)

• Recognizing you with a special badge and a feature series

• Hosting special events for top contributing Leaders
