Events Committee
Contents
Welcome to the Events Committee
The Events Committee is responsible for the planning, setup, and managing of events relevant to MakeICT within the building and some outside of the building. We are made up of one Lead, multiple event-specific coordinators, and other contributing members. If you would like to be part of our committee, feel free to attend any of our meetings found on the calendar.
If something involves the rental of a Classroom, we would coordinate with the Classroom Committee and decide between our two committees which would primarily handle a certain event. Please email [[1]] to inquire about any and all events you may want to have within the space, or have MakeICT participate outside of the space.
Contact: Patricia Cortes or events@makeict.org
