Our first Membership Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 21st at 6:30pm (for one hour).

The goal of this session is to brainstorm ideas around whether a Free Membership Tier is sustainable for Waukesha Makerspace in 2026 and beyond. If it’s not, how can we still provide meaningful value to people who cannot afford the Unlimited Tier? Ideas could include things like limited free access, a free month trial, limited-use starter days, or other creative solutions.

Meeting format:

  • Zoom is the primary method of attendance, though one or two members may listen in from the conference room at the space.

  • Please plan to be fully present and attentive via Zoom, as we have a lot to cover in just one hour.

  • This is a brainstorming session—come with an idea ready to share, and be prepared to listen with an open mind.

  • Each participant (6 total) will have 5 minutes to present their idea uninterrupted.

  • All ideas will be added to our “idea pool”—no idea is a bad idea at this stage.

  • The remaining time will be spent discussing the strengths and value of each idea.

  • A follow-up meeting will be scheduled to vote on our top 3 ideas and refine them further.

Please review this document in advance:
Brian “Oz” Oswald has compiled an idea doc for review and will be presenting his concept during the meeting:

Come open-minded, ready to share, and ready to support one another as we shape the future of our membership model.
