Member Council

for all

What do we want to say about this? List roles/people? Ttenbergen (talk) 23:33, 2024 August 22 (CDT) That describes the meetings, but what is member council's role? I realize we discussed this after the meeting on Tuesday, so I am happy enough to leave this question open for now. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:27, 2024 August 23 (CDT)

Meetings

Member Council meetings are held every Tuesday night at 5PM. They are open to any member. Council members provide updates on their relevant areas, and other attendees have the opportunity to discuss anything related to their experience as a Fab Lab user. Member Council will also host events like volunteer night (last Tuesday of the month) and special speakers (for example, WHMIS training or other safety discussions).
