Getting Around

WMI runs on a handful of online tools. Here is what each one is for.

Discord: talk to people

Discord is the main place members talk, ask for help and get updates.

  • #general: introduce yourself here when you join. It is also where you let people know you are in the space, and where you can reach a board member.
  • #members: ask questions about tools and how to do things.
  • Share your progress, ask for help and connect with other members.

You get connected to Discord at orientation. If you missed it, ask a board member.

waukeshamakers.com: your membership

The website is where you:

  • Log in to your member profile to pay dues or make donations, set up or manage automatic renewal, update your contact information and change your membership level.
  • Use the Members Directory (login required) to find other members and message them through their profiles.
  • Find events, classes, open houses and current membership rates.

For help with billing, access or your profile, email info@waukeshamakers.com.
