== Area Hosts ==
Area Hosts are responsible for the following tasks within designated areas in the building:
*Maintaining the general usability of the area, including
**Cleaning of the area
**Organization of tools and materials within the area
**Performing tool maintenance and repair when necessary
*Training of members for area tools and infrastructure
*Reporting the needs of each area to the BoD
*Acting as an ambassador for their area, and promoting its use and projects.
In exchange for performing these duties, the Area Host will be granted Full Membership status at no cost for the duration of their service.
Any member or non-member is eligible to volunteer for the role of Area Host, excluding BoD members. There can be only one Area Host per area, and one person may not be assigned to multiple areas.
The Board of Directors will decide which volunteer, if any, will be assigned the role of Area Host by a vote.
The Board of Directors may add, remove, or redefine areas of responsibility by vote.
In the event that the Area Host does not perform the duties to the satisfaction of the membership and/or the BoD, the BoD reserves the right to remove the person from their position as Area Host. At that time, the BoD may vote in a new volunteer for the role.
In the event that a new area and Area Host role is deemed necessary, the area and role can be defined and voted in by the membership as an amendment to this proposal. [''Editorial comment: inclusion of this sentence may have been a drafting oversight when the [[AreaManagerVote#Discussion|vote proposal was amended]].'']
At this time, some suggested areas within Pumping Station: One that would be eligible for Area Hosts are the:
*Electronics shop (under the loft)
*Wood/Metal shop (in the back garage)
*Craft area (outside wall of the loft)
*General area (shared spaces, classroom, loft, and main room)
