Agenda

  • huge agenda. Are there any things on this agenda that aren't technically leadership topic and can be discussed with the membership tomorrow? Let's keep it moving.
  • Brief update on finances
  • Hive13 anti-discrimination policy proposal: "Adopted by the Board of Directors on [ DATE TBD ] Sad Bee Inc does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, hiring and firing of staff, selection of volunteers, members, wardens, leadership and vendors, and provision of services. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, clients, volunteers, members, wardens, leadership, subcontractors and vendors. Sad Bee Inc is an equal opportunity employer.

  • Autodesk's community impact/nonprofit system "I'd be awesome if someone was willing to get Hive13 set up with Autodesk's community impact/nonprofit system, so that we could get full versions of Fusion 360, Inventor, AutoCAD, HSMWorks, etc. On some of these computers. Really the only thing it would take is someone willing to write an anti-discrimination policy and to fill out the application."
  • Improvement for new member application pipeline
  • HVAC Fundraising Discussion Thread
    • Thread created - almost half way to the goal
    • What deadline do we set to post a vote to cover the balance? too long and it has diminishing returns, and the people who donated will want to see the results of their donation.
    • We are just over a month away from the middle of May, which was our deadline on doing it.
    • There is also a lot of other work needed.
      • Electrical prep work
      • Elevator door/partition

    • Kitchen, bathrooms, spray booth, airline plumbing, and many others.
  • What to do post-accident procedure, Update Shop Safety project, Basic guidance/documentation.
