Key Project Results:

• Total Inactive Groups in Q2 2024: 372 groups.
• Reactivated Groups: 216 or 58% of inactive groups.
• Closed Groups: 156 or 42% of inactive groups were removed from the WordPress Pro Network and their Meetup tracker was updated.
• New Meetup Applications: 39 applications were received from community members wanting to step up as co-organizers to reactivate the dormant groups.

Impact on Meetup Activity:

Before the reactivation project, only 51% of our Meetup groups were active. Thanks to these efforts, we’ve seen a significant improvement, with 69% of groups now active. This increase demonstrates the positive impact of re-engaging with dormant groups and providing them with the resources and support needed to succeed.

Looking Ahead:

• We will continue conducting meetup reactivation, which we plan to do twice a year in March and September, ensuring we maintain a thriving and active Meetup network.
• Collaborating with our Supporters will remain key in reaching out to groups, processing reactivation applications, and maintaining up-to-date records in our Meetup tracker.
• The closure of several groups in mid-2023 led to a reduction in our Meetup.com subscription fees, saving us $4,704. We anticipate further savings in the upcoming billing period in mid-October.

We’re thrilled to see the impact of this project and remain committed to fostering local WordPress communities through our Meetup Chapter Program. Thank you to everyone involved for their ongoing support and dedication.

Let’s continue building and growing together!
