Workshop Booking
Our workshops are all created and facilitated by MAASIN members who are knowledgeable in a particular subject and/or have particular professional skillsets. Organizations can book workshops for their staff and/or students in return for a donation to MAASIN. Our recommended donation is $200 to compensate the creator/facilitator for their time as well as support other MAASIN activities such as our free public workshop and town hall panel events.
If your organization cannot donate $200, don’t worry! We want these workshops to be available to everyone so ask about paying a sliding-scale fee or receiving a free workshop. If you are looking for a workshop on a subject you do not see here, ask about creating one and we will see what we can do. For more information or to book a workshop please email secretary@maasin.net.
