Caveats & Lessons
We need people willing to share their real name--for the purposes of filing taxes, and signing agreements.
Leverage & Success of the Board
Board can do well by delegating & extending authority to the community through working groups & committees, e.g. the 2025 woodshop construction & city permitting working group.
