I've been scouring the group archives but I can't find the right search terms, so time for a new question.
Who has an arrangement/agreement with an outside group (meetups, organizations, non-profits, etc.) to use your space for recurring meetings? And can you share some details (you provide x, they provide y)? Background for those that are interested: We've been hosting several meetup groups for some time now as well as another group that is a non-profit organization for designers/graphic artists. This group charges its members dues and at least one of their meetings each month has a token $5 charge for non-members. The current President of the group is a member of Cowork Frederick, so holding their meetings has been a perk that was tied to her membership. She wisely thinks that something should be in place that doesn't tie this to a member, but to the organization, so there's stability and an agreement in place when a new President takes over. We're working out the terms, and there's some resistance from a few people on their board. I've offered a viable and hugely discounted rate, but the pushback is along the lines that I should let them meet here for free in exchange for "exposure." (Right now, every freelancer reading this is either laughing or groaning). In the two years we've been doing this, we've gained zero new members from them, so that's not helping us any. If you have any sort of arrangement with a group to meet at your space, could you share some details of the terms? What are you doing for them and what are they doing for you? *Glen Ferguson* Phone: 301-732-5165 Email: g...@coworkfrederick.com Website: http://coworkfrederick.com Address: 122 E Patrick St, Frederick, MD 21701 -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
