Workshop Trainers
When Meetups organizers request our assistance with training them on the workshop, I need some folk to be the trainers. I will likely record a version that we can use but some will want more personal hands-on help, or will want to ask more questions after they have watched the info.
If you are local to them you can train them in person, and otherwise it can be online.

Thanks in advance for your help and Iām looking forward to setting up these sustainable systems with you!
