New Business
How was NOMCON?
100% better than last year. We have so much good information to bring back. We wish we had 1 more person to cover the sessions we couldn’t attend. We’ll debrief on June 30th at 4 PM. The debriefing will include Some Survey data and the coins, which we will give to their rightful owner. Malissa is now the state rep for Kansas and the Indiana delegation has offered support. They have a state nonprofit organization, the makerspaces formed together to help support each other and have a template we can follow. We would like to invite other makerspaces to the debriefing.

Last Meeting: June 18, 2018
We brainstormed for volunteer recruitment ideas and plan to implement the following right away:
1. Utilize multiple avenues to advertise volunteer needs, including the forum, email, and social media. In the past, we have advertised on Talk OR email OR social media, but we can reach a broader audience by advertising volunteer needs within those resources simultaneously.
2. Shannon is creating an editable Google Doc that lists monthly makerspace events and housekeeping tasks that need volunteers. David will include a link to this document in his monthly digital newsletters that are emailed to the entire member body. We feel like providing a visual of volunteer needs, as well as who is helping, might attract more volunteers. The Google Doc will also be shared on the forum and social media.
3. Emily is creating a makerspace inventory system and spreadsheet (thanks, Emily). Volunteers will be needed to help with inventory. More details coming soon....
