Community governance
Lumavel Town Hall Program
The Town Hall is Lumavel's stewardship ladder — not bigger discounts, but greater responsibility in community and mission governance.
Everyone can suggest ideas; lifetime partner tiers and Town Hall stewardship roles earn deeper participation — especially on community missions alongside Lifetime Patrons.
The Town Hall is not moderation and does not grant admin authority. It rewards contribution, participation, and caretaking of the Lumavel community.
Town Hall ranks (Citizen → Ambassador) track community growth. The ladder is about stewardship — voting access, proposals, and mission leadership — aligned with family, faith, and service.
Participation, not gatekeeping
Everyone can suggest ideas. Lifetime partner tiers and Town Hall ranks earn deeper responsibility while every voice remains welcome. Influence grows through stewardship.
Community Project Pipeline
Rally Lumavel around real-world service — food drives, school supplies, prayer campaigns, local cleanup, holiday support, community gardens, and more. Separate from software roadmaps.
Community suggests → Partners refine → Patrons & Ambassadors choose

Product voting
How Lumavel software and Shopping Plaza evolve — Future Apps, partner tools, and platform priorities. Suggest and discuss in the open; tiers align on what ships.

Propose and discuss via Town Hall and the contact form. Lifetime partner tiers align on shipping decisions — one member, one vote per poll when live.

How voting works
Product roadmaps and community missions use separate tracks. Anyone can suggest and discuss. Lifetime Partners, Stewards, and Patrons align on software priorities. Lifetime Patrons and Ambassadors hold final votes on which community project Lumavel rallies behind. Town Hall ranks unlock proposals, discussions, and stewardship.
Lifetime Partner Program tiers — marketplace and software stewardship for approved partners.
