Committees
Groups of members and/or volunteers that are focused on a specific area or activity in the makerspace. Any group of 3 people with a common interest can request to form a committee and be given authority to do things around the space.
Committees typically meet once a month on a specific day of the month (first Friday, third Tuesday, etc).
Shop Committees
These are committees consisting of members that make use of the shops and want to contribute their time and energy towards improving it. These groups typically discuss topics like organizing, equipment upkeep and purchases, improvement projects, classes, and more.
Members are welcome to join any Shop Committee they are interested in to get involved. Follow the link to the google group to see discussions there, or head over to Slack and join a channel.
