Agenda

Group Leadership

  • Midsouth Makers requires your time.
  • Joe would like to raise a board issue about the suitability of John and Kevin as board members.
    • The following seems to make apparent the lack of time to be able to perform the board member role for Midsouth Makers
      • Absence from Multiple Meetings
        • It's understandable to miss meetings, Especially when a job requires it, however there has been no apparent interest shown in how the meetings went, nor has there been any activity outside of the regular meeting times.
        • Real life events may also play a role in taking us away from meetings. Instead of an extended board member absence, offer to step down or offer some alternative to another meeting day.
      • Lack of general interest in the happenings of the group
      • Lack of response when specifically asked for input
    • Joe feels when regular members are consistently doing more than board members, there should be questions raised.

  • Current Paying Members:

Event Discussion

  • Twitter Campaign Recap
    • A resounding failure
    • Consensus on what we learned
      • If we don't think an event will be great, don't force it
      • Board shouldn't have to lead every event
      • Sculpy class is a perfect example of non board ran event that was great
