Lansing Makers Network members are expected to follow all policies and rules. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the policies and ask a board member if you have questions about any policy. There are a great deal of “unwritten” expectations, rules, policies, etc that develop over time in a shared creative space such as Lansing Makers Network. We do our best over time to document those policies so that the entire community understands them.

Generally, we function best when all of our members keep the overall functioning of the space and the community at the forefront of their decision making. On this page, you'll find the collection of rules and policies that we've formally established and documented.
