[Board] April 9 Board Meeting

[Maggie Fogel]

I am not an expert and have never used one.  Also, I really doubt that all of the people attending any of our meetings have tablets ... I know I don't.
But there DOES need to have a moderator and some "rules of participation" ... which we need to establish for just simple conference calls as well.
I am waiting to hear from my friend who knows all about Zoom and is setting it up for one of my clients ... but can't guarantee he will get back to me in time for Pat's Wednesday meeting.

Pat,
   Rose does this video conferencing every morning with an instructor.  The woman has a "moderator" conferencing "title" that she obtained for running the meeting, and I'm sure you have a method to obtain that manager title.  There is a numerical code that does not change from meeting to meeting.  I'm not sure if there's a meeting time allocation for each session.  
  Downloading the zoom application is simple, and I'd advise using a tablet (for screen size) rather than a cell phone.  My guess is that Maggie is an expert a this entire application and its use.
Best,
Peter

All indications are that it will be a good solution if every member has the capacity to use it.  Please let me know if you can or have downloaded the Zoom app. I would want to have a trial run before the meeting.
