Co-op

Expectations for Members:

1. We will conduct our individual/distinct group needs with respect, consideration for one another’s time and needs, and a operate with a sincere desire to enhance the mission goals of of one another and this space at all times.
2. Because this tremendous opportunity allows us to share Space we need to ensure it is clean, orderly, neat and well merchandised/supplier at all times to allow the space to be shared.
3. Computer and office space and all materials are for your use.  Please remember to log out and log in using your correct admin privileges to ensure security.   Software requirements may be downloaded to your personal computers (for up to 3 users) as well as your ability to download apps for all the software currently on the FlatIron PC..  If any supplies run low please email Alex Schmer and write on white board. If you know you are printing excessively please simply purchase a replacement cartridge.  This is all on the Honors System.  We need to have on hand what it takes to run our organizations smoothly, and we don’t mind sharing office supplies. 
4. We require our organizational software Click-Up to be used to register any Interns or new employees to the Co-op Space.  There are many practical reasons for this including Official how-to and training videos, objectives lists when considering certain Community Partner events,  also to keep tract of Member Meetings we will at first try to hold quarterly and then drop to bi-annually or annually.  Now there are many more eyes and hands working in the same space and we need to keep track of who /what/how is happening in the space for insurance and logistics -also to avoid task overlap.  
5. Calendar Reservations will be done using Acuity if accessing from online, but preferably you will access Acuity through Click-Up as well,  because then it will self-populate many things such as–  reminder texts/emails regarding event organization requirements, fundraising initiatives and tasks, materials needed, and so much more.

     -Members may access calendar at any time to check availability.  Events will be accepted on primarily a first-come first-serve basis unless members reserve in advance.   Certain days and times of reservation may require am “accept” reply email.  Click-up will allow access to important links and information such as building maintenance help, insurance, member websites and gallery to facilitate image usage. 

1. Members of OCMS staff should be listed with contact emails on Click-up and may even utilize the exceptional capabilities this software offers at no cost. (We already are paying for the top-tier of service contract so we are allowed multiple work spaces within SEAK’s umbrella. Using this will help us with so much, including analytics later when it comes to budget and Making Sure multiple people aren’t doing the same tasks/overlap/ we are clear who is performing what at each event.  
2. We have created several different space-rental intake forms. You will receive A code ensuring your correct member status reflects in the price of using the space. (Vis OCMS is allowed free use for event booking at this time)
3. Please be aware of Rental Checklist for templates on setup requirements as well as tear-down specifications. 
4. No dishes are to be left In the sink over night. 1st offense is buying the shop beer.   2nd offense is buying lunch for the crew that week. Third offense is the same as non-member fee that gets docked (See renter checklist). 
5.  Any event on our calendar has the option of being listed publicly and leaving logo/sentence description to be posted by our social media to link to yours as well as being listed on the Events Calendar on website.  Intention with this is to boost viewers/participation/success. However if you wouldn’t like your “Publications Committee Meeting” listed on public calendar there is also an option for just “Reserved”  ****  right??
6. You will notice space rental for photographers is less than musicians. The goal with this is to allow us to use some or all of their images in exchange for this discount.
7. We have several goals for the Space..  In terms of rental we envision:

small ensemble rehearsal or performance, fundraising opportunities and events, speaking events, events to augment or enhance other Omaha arts and cultural events going on, small or individual studio performances, events to highlight local award winners, allow professional musicians to book time to practice or have private meetings between tight rehearsal schedules, to allow students an opportunity to reserve practice time on our high-end SEAK owned instruments, rehearsal packages for individuals and groups at an affordable (ish) rate. Plus some photography and other events to further our mission. To allow violin makers guild a place to meet and present findings.
