Toreus Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was talking to a blacksmith I knew from few years back yesterday, and as we were talking about our shops he mentioned that he had been talking on-and-off for a few years with 8-10 other local blacksmiths about setting up a formal non-profit association and an associated shop. For you folks that are experienced with the administrative side of setting up a group like this: 1- Do you have any tips, tricks, do's and don'ts? 2- Any resources that we should consult? 3- The old Blacksmith's Association of Manitoba was, from what I understand, a stand-alone organization. What would be the advantages/disadvantages to starting a chapter of a larger organization, such as ABANA? I'll likely start another thread about the management of a communal shop soon. Thanks, T.
