5th monday

MassLandlords has been running well! But a question remains: if we all get paid rent monthly, why are we asked to float dues a year in advance? This is why members approved a bylaws changed in December allowing us now to offer monthly dues. Let's see the plan! We'll share:

Graphs of MassLandlords revenue and membership over time.
Our need to hire more staff.
How monthly dues are expected to help new members sign up and stay.
What other member organizations offer for pricing.
What our current signup process looks like.
What our new signup process could look like, if you agree.

Attendees will leave knowing what we propose to do to dues and having given your feedback.

Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
