So after re-reading MHV 2019-2020 Financial Discussion I was going to (edit: comment) there, but then thought better to discuss more general here. So below is driven by the the Financial discussion.
I truly appreciate all of the thought & effort in the Financial discussion (having been treasurer & everything else of several struggling organisations), but I wonder if we should look at the situation in a different way?
For example instead of focus on the downward trend of our bank account, why not focus totally on what WE* ALL want for or from the space… and then once we are motivated and focussed, I am sure the little bit of extra income we need will just flow in.
A negative example from the long Financial discussion is all the points about improvements & better etc…which is great, we want a “better” space, but the negative I see is that improvement & better are rather vague. Maybe this a part of why according to the Financial discussion nothing much happened in last couple of years (and yes I am guilty of not doing much).
Instead if we have some clear goals, then the money is one aspect that will be accounted for as we move forward.
So lets discuss/pick a few major goals and plenty of minor, but still important goals and get stuck in!
- To me WE especially includes new members and the integration process to turn them into long term happy members (& of course cash contributers).
