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 member works with the chair to communicate the event to the membership and determine interest.  

If there is interest from the membership to pursue the event the chair selects a volunteer to chair the event.  The event chair is responsible for coordinating planning, execution, and reporting on the event/project.

The event chair works with the committee chair to define the event and start a wiki page for the event <template TBD>.  The page documents all relevant links, points of contact, description, and other information relevant to the overall event.  

If there are any costs associated with the event the event chair raises those costs to the board for approval.

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.
