Generally, the best way to find the right person to contact about less important things is by posting in Discord. For example, infrastructure problems like wifi and swipe card glitches should be reported in the #infrastructure channel or help with a woodworking tool in the #woodwork channel.
If you don't have access to Discord tap here for the invite link.
For serious or important issues, like contacting someone about a safety incident, raising a complaint, questions about your membership, or problems with another member, you should contact the committee directly. You can send the committee an email at [email protected].
