Ask what the group needs
A host may need a room, an accessible online meeting option, printed materials, or a volunteer with experience in a specific field. Discuss how frequently the resource is needed and who will coordinate it.
Agree on the purpose
Write down what is being offered and how it will help participants. Keep membership and hiring decisions independent. If the support will be publicly acknowledged, agree on the wording before publishing it.
