People and Roles

Ideas about who does what when

Participants / Membership

Offer some classes open to the public
Training space is for members
Who can become a member?
Possible tiers of membership
- Access hours based on vetting / trust e.g. anyone can join and train during "open" hours, only vetted members have after hours access
Membership requires demonstration of competence in the apparatus they wish to use
- Membership target is not beginners, it is professionals or amateurs with an existing practice
Need clear pathways to membership, gaining competence

Teaching staff need to be qualified
- What does qualified mean?
- There need to be clear pathways to gaining qualifications
Teaching staff need to take continuing education courses
- Org needs to provide education opportunities for staff
  - low or no cost to staff when possible
  - Bring in outside instructors for teacher training to keep ideas fresh
How does a member rent space to run a class or workshop? Who can do so?

Member teaching member
- Not handled by org need to talk to lawyer about liability / insurance
Member teaching nonmember - Direct (member brings in student, coordinates directly)
- Needs some sort of qualifications
- Rental fee?
- How does insurance work?
Staff teaching member or nonmember - Managed through org
- Do we need this? Or should all private lessons just be handled directly between student and instructor?
- Most stringent qualifications

Overall we need people to do:

Non-advisory board (EC + discipline) meets monthly

EC has own monthly meetings

Full board meets quarterly?

People not involved in the day to day but provide an outside perspective. Might not need all of these?

More nuts and bolts org management, sets the general direction of the org, handles minutiae
