AAUW WI State Board Meeting held via Zoom
Since the pandemic has limited our ability to meet in-person for the next year, the AAUW Wisconsin state board would like to keep branches up-to-date on technology that can help facilitate virtual meetings and events for 2020-21. At the start of summer, we provided information on Facebook Messenger group chats, Google Hangouts and Zoom. Since then, one additional option has been released: Google Meet.
If most of your members have Gmail accounts, this new app from Google could be an easy and FREE way to host a branch, committee or book club meeting online. You can find directions for how to schedule and start a video meeting, as well as other topics, in Google Meet Training and Google Meet Help.
Note: there is a limit of 100 attendees and 60 minutes for those with free Gmail accounts.
In light of Governor Evers’ Safer at Home Order, many of us have had to take our meetings online, including the AAUW Wisconsin state board, which just conducted its third quarter meeting via Zoom!
For your next board meeting or book club, try one of these widely used free resources for computers, tablets or cell phones: Facebook Messenger group chats, Google Hangouts or Zoom. A helpful Zoom tutorial hosted by Marcia Chadley shows you how to participate and host a meeting. And this tutorial by Max Dalton will help you navigate Facebook Messenger group chats.
