Scenario

How established communities can become accidentally exclusive

Our community center board keeps making decisions that serve long-time members while newcomers drop out after a few months but when anyone brings up changing how we do things the founders get protective of 'what's always worked.' We're slowly becoming irrelevant while insisting we're inclusive.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The comfort of familiar processes can become a barrier to inclusion that drives away the very people a community claims to welcome.
