His full post below:

“I’m heading to Chicago later this month
for our first ever Facebook Communities
Summit with a few hundred of our top
Facebook group admins.



For the past decade, Facebook has been
focused on making the world more open
and connected — and we’re always going
to keep doing that. But now it’s clear we
have to do more.



We also need to bring
people closer together and build common
understanding.



One of the best ways to
do that is by helping people build
community, both in the physical world and
online.




I’ve written and talked about these
themes throughout this year — especially
in my community letter in February and at
Harvard Commencement last month.


This
summit will be the next chapter and we’ll
discuss more of what we’re building to
empower community leaders to bring the
world closer together.



Over the past few weeks I’ve been
meeting group admins across the country
who are building meaningful communities
on Facebook and will be at the summit.



This photo is with Lola, who lives in
Chicago and is originally from Nigeria.



Two years ago, she founded a secret
Facebook group called Female IN, or FIN.
It’s a no-judgment space where more
than a million women come to talk about
everything from marriage and sex to
health issues and work problems — and
it’s helping end the culture of silence that
exists for women in some parts of the
world.



I’m looking forward to meeting more
admins like Lola and talking about how
we can help them do even more to build
community.



I’ll share more info on the
summit as we get closer, and I’ll stream
the event live from my profile later this
month.
