Board meetings, team meetings, committee meetings - most nonprofits have lots of meetings. Online meetings can make scheduling easier, eliminate travel costs and save attendees time. So how can you move meetings online and have them be effective?
In this webinar, we discussed:
- Selecting the right virtual meeting technology for the group and the topic
- Preparing your committee before the meeting to ensure it runs smoothly
- Managing meeting formalities, such as roll-call, note taking, motions, and records
