How it works:


A notice of these calls will be sent to our division's listserve, and to all

members that we have an email address for.

If you join us for a call, please take note of the following information and

our request of all participants:

Time of Calls: 4:00Eastern standard time; 3:00 Central time; 2:00 Mountain 
time; 1:00 Pacific time

Conference call numbers: Dial 712-432-1500 - Access code: 759633pound

All calls are recorded, available to be listened to, and directions for 
accessing them is further down on this page.

OUR REQUEST OF YOU: In order to obtain the best possible sound for these 
calls, it is recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6 
which puts you in a mute mode. You will be able to hear everything during 
the call but background noise from your location will not disturb others 
listening in on the conversation. When you wish to speak and enter the 
discussion, press star 6 once again and you will be released from the mute 
mode and able to participate.

Also, it is highly recommended of all participants, that each person wishing

to speak, state his or her name, and wait for the monitor to recognize you 
before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the floor at one

time and chaos can occur. The monitors will do their very best to recognize 
as many callers as possible however, they will determine the order in which 
speakers have the floor.

When finished with your comments, press star 6 once again to go back into 
the mute mode, to facilitate better, uncluttered communication for everyone.
