**Future of Makespace Working Group Meeting**
This is the regular working group meeting for the *Future of Makespace* project. We’ll share updates from each team (see below), discuss priorities, and set the agenda for the next month.
These meetings are open to all **inducted** **Makespace members** – they’re a great opportunity to stay informed, contribute ideas, and help ensure Makespace grows in ways that support your projects and the wider community.

**Meeting schedule**
The *Future of Makespace* working group meets twice a month:

* **FoM Mid-Month Check-In**
*Third Monday of the month, 7pm*
An informal catch-up for team updates, discussion, and ideas.
* **FoM Pre-Board Meeting**
*Friday before each scheduled Board meeting, 7pm, Classroom*
A more formal session to review actions, address issues, and prepare any proposals or decisions to bring to the Board.

The outcome of these meetings is a clear action plan, with responsibilities assigned and decisions identified for the Board.
