=='''[[Facilities Vision|Facilities]]'''==
 <li>The Society must have set a goal of obtaining (and retaining) a public [[Headquarters]]. To ensure that such a facility may be retained, we the Society must create an [[Investment Fund]] sufficient that its revenue will cover the costs of rent, utilities, and taxes (if any).</li> 
<li>The Society should adopt a policy that any lease or rental be for a term of not less than five years with maximum rent defined, and that funds sufficient to secure the facility for said term be identified before a lease or rent is authorized.</li>
 
<li>Should a patron offer shared space not unreasonably far from the present [[Headquarters]] under suitable conditions of security and compatible use for a below-market price for at least a five-year term, the Society should move quickly to accept, even if long-term goals suggest a different (but currently unaffordable) location.</li>
 
<li>The Society must have a goal of obtaining (and retaining) a public [[Headquarters]] that is owned by the Society. To ensure that such a facility may be retained, we must create an [[Investment Fund]] sufficient that its revenue will cover both the initial capital cost of acquisition and modification to our purposes, and the ongoing costs of utilities, repairs, and taxes (if any).</li>
 
<li>The Society should remain open to the opportunity to purchase a location for the primary purpose of storage, even if unsuitable for a headquarters, in order to reduce the burden of rented storage.</li>
