Standing Committee Reports (Outlined in p. 3 of Standing Rules)
Reports to be reviewed at the Board Meeting can be found here: [1]
(15 min) Financial - Zach S./Emilio T.
- Review AHA Financial Status (shared in advance)
- Update Board with July member status (compiled by Jamie Fineman/Larry Works)
- Larry found that pricing at Costo is better than GFS for the items we normally stock.
(15 min) Governance - Nate Yost
- Review AHA Governance Status (shared in advance)
- Status of Transitioned Activities from Josh
(15 min) Fundraising - Larry
Summarize Fund-raising report (shared in advance)
- Larry found out that we can in fact take 501c3 donations retroactive to the date we submitted the application.
- Therefore, when making any financial donation requests include this verbiage "All Hands Active is a charitable organization pending 501(c)3 certification.". It's the responsibility of the donor confirm tax status not AHA. Year of certification determines when a donor files their donation in their own tax documents.
(45 min) New Goals - Create the next 6 Months Goals - Board
How can we create a sustainable financial model to meet the vision of AHA of being Ann Arbor's Friendliest Hackerspace?
How can we grow the membership?
- Add-on membership for Standard members suggested at $15/member. Need to define clearly and involve entire membership.
(15 min) Event Status - Larry
Review Upcoming events AHA is participating in.
- Detcon1 - Larry & Nate participating. Anyone else?
- Detroit Maker Faire - What are we doing?
(15 min) Class Status - TBD
- How can we restart the educational revenue stream?
- Our lease and certification forms identify us an educational organization. Monthly classes, as currently run, may be insufficient to satisfy 501(c)3 requirements.
