Charter

This committee helps to identify and organize events that benefit the makerspace.  

...

• Identify new opportunities for special events, as identified by the membership through Slack, meetings, or other communications
• Track the progress of the event through completion
• Assisting the event coordinator to identify Makersmiths resources available to help complete the project
• Assist the event coordinator with communications to the membership and/or Board of Directors as needed
• Reporting on the status of all projects at membership meetings

...

Processes

Any new event or project is raised to the committee chair via e-mail or Slack. All events/projects must benefit or promote Makersmiths or support outreach to the community.

...

The event chair coordinates volunteers to work on the event/project and clearly sets out expectations and requirements. 

Once the event or project is complete the event chair updates the wiki page with a retrospective to describe how the event went, who volunteered, and what went right/wrong.  The event chair should coordinate with the outreach committee to post pictures and/or a blog post to the Makersmiths social media channels.

...

Many special events are exhibits, shows, or community events where we have the opportunity to promote Makersmiths.  We are working to build a set of items that belong to the space (through donations or purchase) and are available to any member organizing an event.  This way we don't have to solicit projects and equipment from the membership each time we have an event.  This effort is being referred to as "Makersmiths In A Box".  Discussion about the project can be found in the #makersmiths_in_a_box channel on Slack.  Plans, inventory, and wishlist are on the wiki page.
