This is why I prefer a committee to a SIG. If there’s a lawyer and/or accountant in the BoD meeting, a newly-installed Fundraising Chairperson would have a literal seat in the room to get these questions answered once and for all.
For what it’s worth, I’m not trying to be the new chairperson. I just want expansion and honorariums funded, and I want to help move that funding forward.
I want the fighting over money to cease. We can raise enough money to cover BOTH expansion and honorarium — I’m convinced of it.
I want classes on the calendar, teachers to be happy, students to be excited about learning new things, and DMS to be the shining example of what a fully-funded (not just with membership dues) Makerspace can be.
