Some things to keep in mind when joining the General Membership Meeting remotely:

We will be muting participants when they join, but you will be able unmute yourself to participate.
If you would like to make a comment or ask a question, please use the Raise Hand feature and you’ll be called on and unmuted by the facilitator.
If you’re calling in by phone to the meeting, only a phone number will display instead of your name; we’ll ask you who you are and list your name instead of number for the meeting.
We’ll use the Poll feature for voting.
The meeting will be recorded for the minutes, but the recording will not be made available after the meeting.
Please be patient – we’re all figuring this out!
