Zoom Meeting Agenda
1. Introductions We will have 2-3 minutes per person. We encourage you write down and prioritize what you would like to say leaving out extraneous details: How you are coping, your stress levels, if you need supplies, etc.
2. Tom will present his 2 minute tip
3. After introductions and the 2 minute tip, we will then answer questions brought up. Because we have limited time, please limit your answers again to 3-5 minutes so we have enough time as some members have to leave at the stated end time.
Some members may be available after the meeting like before so you can get more clarification then.
Meeting Etiquette
Be respectful of person speaking, we will MUTE those that interrupt! Side conversations can be held while someone is speaking via a text chat window. There is a feedback window on the bottom bar. Click on the Clap icon or Thumbs Up icon to give speaker feedback. Depending on which method you use to join the meeting, the window may look different.
Bear with us; we are all learning. We will figure this out. We have tried to anticipate and mitigate problems that could arise. I'm sure there will still be some!!
As always, significant others and any friends and family supporters are always welcome at the meeting. Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month.
