Important point that we haven't discussed. We need a member agreement before we can sign up member!
How should we proceed with collecting membership dues?
- We should start with a bank account.
Make sure that the bank that we choose has software integration abilities. Leah
- Brian will call Erin Porter & other banks to see if we can have a simpler process than what Amanda C offered.
- Want the solution to be as simple as possible. = not transferring money between accounts if possible.
- Start with membership platform we intend to use. Migrating is painful and you lose folks along the way.
Is it time to crowd source funding?
- Yes it's time to do this
- Joe will create a channel to discuss the specifics. -Leah will be the point person.
nonprofit questions
- That role does the board play?
- To not lose the nonprofit status.
- Should we have the board on the website? Yes but under the financial section, the faces on the site should be member roles.
- Have annual meeting, have bylaws, have at least 3 members, Have term limits, & etc.
- How many directors on board?
- Start with 5 because we have volunteers. Stay above 3 so we can afford to lose one. Check with Meg too -Joe

- Advertise an open house for after we sign the lease in the announcement email/post.
- Being on Facebook is important. Maybe a locked down FB Page so we can post events/be found.
- Members on Slack/emailing from Wild Apricot/mail Chimp & etc.
