1—Members-only goodies from February 2022

6—New community features

Nexus Connect is always improving! Take a look at the newest update on member profiles...

You can now search from members based on their location, role, and anything else in their profile.

Here's the catch though: in order for you to show up in search results, you need to update your profiles with a headshot and bio information.

Do it now, please?!! 🙌
