Q1 - Improve member on-boarding & new member experience
We had a late start to Q1, but we managed to get a lot done. Several new members have received orientation which helps them become better equipped to use the space and they now know where and how to find help when needed.
What did we accomplish?
- We had a planning session
- We had a meetup where we executed several ideas
- New Member On-boarding Process -- defined and documented
- New Member Orientation Process -- orientation checklist made
- Member Sign up Station (tablet on table under TV)
- Name-Tags -- diy or low-tech paper
- Purchased some safety equipment (e.g. hair ties, first aid kits, etc...)
- Fixed automated Slack invite
- Member Handbook/Welcome Packet -- kicked off/in progress
How did we celebrate?
A big part of this process is to report and celebrate progress.
We signed up several members while we worked on the new on-boarding process and most importantly we had an awesome cookout. :)
Overall, it has been a great success. Read more here
Q2 - Remodel Front Room and build framework for space sponsored group projects
In Q2 we plan on remodeling the front room to better declare that space. It is the face of HackRVA and typically the first thing people see when they walk in. We can do a lot to reduce clutter, improve storage, and make better use of the space. In addition to the remodel, we will have a team building an arcade cabinet as a way to bootstrap space sponsored group projects.
Results: Cabinets and counter top on the wall across from the door, with much more space for premium member bins. It took longer than we had planned, but the result is nice. On the other hand, the arcade cabinet project stalled.
