Our Story
In 2017, principal consultant Catherine Hackney started Confident Communities Consulting after recognizing a deep need for specialized online community management services. Then began the rewarding work of sharing her online community expertise with a variety of organizations. Catherine is at the heart of every Confident Communities Consulting project; you can be assured that your project will receive her full attention. As a result of the relationships Catherine has built during her years in the industry, Confident Communities Consulting has a wide range of expertise to draw on. With Catherine at the helm, Confident Communities Consulting has developed a reputation of insightful understanding of the online community world.
“Through my experience as a member of several online communities, my passion grew to learn all I could about communities. I became uniquely qualified to offer community management consulting to advance the success of many more organizations’ communities. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing a post from a member about how the community has personally benefited them. I plan to continue bringing value to community members in all types of professional communities.”
Catherine also mentors budding community professionals and has been an MVP member of the Higher Logic user group, HUG, since 2016.
