A supportive community really speaks to the engagement that the brand is providing. It is ensitial to build a community that is able to speak on your behalf, and that only really occurs if you have a clear message that is supported by effective communication with critical members of your network.

- How do we help people build an informed community that exposes us to new ideas and builds common understanding in a world where every person has a voice?
This becomes relative to what you want to inform the community of, though it may state that every person has a voice.

To have a supportive, safe, informed, civically-engaged and inclusive community is a great goal to shoot for. But I think it is important to realize that things like this take time to build. Especially when it comes to my own career, there will be many test and trials that will put different elements in the network building into question. Though if the community and I are able to endure such test and come out with a better understanding and maintained goal and vision. It is truly a testament to the strength of that community.
I think the most important part of all this is the support aspect, because if this element fails or isn't present the others will not be as strong. Though there are those that work better alone, predominately we are social beings and the support of a like minded community in a focused pursuit is something that appeals to most people. But it is critical that it is something they want to pursue, so the support needs to be there but it must being built up with the other parts to ensure its ability to endure critics. Bringing it back to my initial point it is something I have to be constantly aware of and working on.
