Member Meeting Planning

 

@Christopher Spalding ; @Kemner-Heek, Kirstin

From 2024-10-28 Community Council Meeting Minutes@Christopher Spalding@Kemner-Heek, Kirstin@Boaz Nadav Manes, @Paul Kloppenborg @Maike Osters volunteered to begin to scaffold a structure for regular members meeting in which a clearer definition of membership-added-value is expressed. Various CC members have expressed an interest in better defining the value proposition for administrators as well as focusing on more intentional marketing and fundraising (business case) for the project.
Important: Establish contact with ALL members and potential new members. Intention: Two meeting per year - one via VC, one in person.
Boaz: Proposed the idea of a report focusing on topics related to membership, including the benefits of being a member (organizational member)
Kirstin: Permanent regular group would be fine. SubGroup of CC which organizes the member-meeting. (Members so far: @Boaz Nadav Manes , @Kemner-Heek, Kirstin @Paul Kloppenborg , @Joseph Grobelny ).
Kristin: Participation of PC makes sense,
