While most of us will be in Jefferson City there are a few that have requested to be able to join via Zoom. Although we believe that in person board meetings are important, I cannot disregard those who are still hesitant to travel due to the elevated COVID numbers. Of coarse this will work to the advantage of other members that may want to tune in. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'>I also believe there are those that will be present that would appreciate all of us wearing mask.
