Do-ocracy

Safety

• Compliance with:
  • building code
  • fire code
  • tools use procedures

Respect

• changes to the building or its systems - official coordination needed
• city permissions
• established best practices in PS
• harms a member, their project or the space? Don’t do it!
• Keep your dues current, we have bills to pay

Volunteering

• everything was done by members
• contribute your time, skill and resources. Initiative is hugely encouraged
• Hiring contractors / janitors would skyrocket dues
• solves a problem or improves the space? Do it!
