My name is Julie Harris, Julie-Harris on Talk, and this is formal notice of my intent to run for re-election to the Dallas Makerspace Board of Directors. I have been a member of Dallas Makerspace since 2016 and I have served on the board since 2019.  Other positions held at Dallas Makerspace include President, Secretary, PR Coordinator, Education Coordinator and Digital Media chair.  

While I haven't been physically present at Dallas Makerspace as much as I would have liked in 2023, I continued to work for Dallas Makerspace remotely by approving classes and events, supporting volunteers and assisting with administrative tasks such as insurance renewals.  I also assisted with Laser office hours and Fusion training when needed.  I would be honored to be able to continue to have the opportunity to serve as board member of Dallas Makerspace for another term.  If I am elected, I will continue to work to set a positive tone and to support education and collaboration at Dallas Makerspace.  

Director & Officer accomplishments include:

  • Lease renewal with TI allowance - negotiated to add Automotive to the renewal
  • Effectively responded to challenges presented by COVID-19
  • Established a management structure to separate the board from day to day operations and increase accountability
  • Recovered from negative cash flow and improved cash management
  • Increased professionalism and efficiency of board meetings

Goals for the next term:

  • Assist with administrative work - for example insurance renewals and documentation
  • Provide historical knowledge
  • Support efforts to create online content for both PR and education
  • Continue work to keep DMS a positive, fun place for people to learn and make
  • Continue to work to recruit new members
  • Support PR and fundraising efforts
