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

Staff

Teaching

• 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?

Private Lessons

• 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

Admin

• Facilities management (roof leaks, etc)
• Bookkeeping / filing of various paperwork
