[NFBV-Announce] Virginia Virtual Meetings for week of June 1 - 7

[Sarah Patnaude]

This message outlines many events and meetings planned for June, focusing on activities for this week.
 Almost all chapter and division meetings are using the Virginia Affiliate’s Zoom account and all meetings are open to the public.
 All calls are available using the telephone dial in option or through the free and totally accessible Zoom app on Windows, Apple IOS, or Google Android. You can also access just using your Web Browser. 
For all these services, it is important to be on mute when you are not speaking. The presenter will provide instructions on unmuting to be heard. Additionally, just like in-person Federation meetings, please preface your comments by stating your name and being recognized by the organizer before speaking.

Effective Meetings: A workshop led by Suzie D’Mello
Let's face it, leading a truly efficient, interesting, and productive meeting can be very tricky. Everyone has attended a painfully long and pointless meeting before, and you may fear that, despite your best efforts, you will wind up leading such meetings. In this interactive presentation, you will learn about common pitfalls of meetings, and receive concrete tips on how to improve the effectiveness of your chapter meetings, both in-person and virtual, resulting in better attendance and more engaged members.
