Skills Taught:   Documentation

Detailed Description (What):

Create a single unified document (online) that documents a vision and 5 year strategy for layouts and modelling efforts.
Document should take in the following info:
Bylaws mission statement
Real estate 5 year plans
Fundraising and community engagement plans.
Document should address all existing and potential future modelling efforts in any scale, but in particular N and HO.

Topics this document might cover are prototype vs. Freelance efforts, layout replacement strategy, How we use our modelling assets to fulfill our Bylaws mission statement.

Reason(s) (Why):

Currently the club does not do a particularly good job of long term planning. As we move to get more fundraising and better engagement, it’s critical that we have a well articulated vision for what we want to do and be from a modelling perspective. Many topics come up such as modelling more prototype scenes to spark local interest or improve/replace layout for better operations and similar topics. This document would provide a certain structure to these suggestions.

This is a document that could be shared with potential donors and partners so they can see what we intend to do.

Notes:

The document should not be overly restrictive or have too many rules, but should serve as a guide for our thinking on planning.

Imagine this would be written by a subcommittee or the planning committee and go through full club approval.
Perhaps a bylaws change requiring a strategy document?
