Growing Up: Building a Lasting Homebrew Club

Most homebrew clubs experience growing pains: there comes a time when meeting in your own kitchens to share homebrew and chat goes by the wayside. Those pains and pitfalls can be avoided or eased, though. This seminar will provide information about finding meeting locations, growing your membership without overwhelming your club, managing money, creating bylaws, establishing a legal and financial identity, creating club activities, becoming part of your local and regional beer community, developing club leaders…in short, how to create a club that will last beyond the tenure of its first overly-stressed president.
