Can Zoom Board Meetings Really be Engaging?

Can Zoom Board Meetings Really be Engaging?
Thursday, April 14 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Interactive Web Meeting

Presented by: Susan Detwiler, The Detwiler Group

Offered in Partnership with: The Detwiler Group

We've all become used to Zoom for meetings, but, for many, board meetings still feel lacking. Board members stay muted, check out, or check their phones. New board members don't know the returning members – and vice versa. You forget who wants to talk and in what order.

Engaging board members in-person is already an art; so how do you keep them engaged when everyone is in a little square on a screen? Fortunately, there are several tools and techniques that can help. In this session with meeting facilitator and consultant Susan Detwiler, you will learn some simple ways to get – and keep – engagement, including:

• Why, when, and how to use breakout rooms

• How to best use screen-share – and when not to

• Using chat for feedback and note-taking

• Different ways to take votes

• How to keep track of the conversation

• Advanced Zoom settings that enhance your control

Single Login Cost:
$30 per person for PANO Members | $66 per person for Not-Yet Members

Terms of Participation
Your purchase entitles you to a single login. Please do not share the login information with others, as it may interfere with your ability to join. If multiple individuals from your organization would like to view the webinar, please purchase separate tickets for each person or consider a group screening ticket (below).

Group Screening Cost (4-10 individuals):
$100 per group for PANO Members | $222 per group for Not-Yet Members

Terms of Participation
If you have 4-10 individuals interested in viewing the webinar, please have one person register selecting the group ticket. You can then enter the names and email addresses of up to 9 other individuals to add to your group ticket.

This option makes the most sense when you have 4-10 individuals interested in viewing the webinar. For fewer than 4 attendees, a single login ticket for each person is the most cost-effective option. For more than 10 attendees, please email Christina at christina@pano.org to discuss options.

Materials & Login/Call-In Instructions:
Materials (PowerPoint and other handouts), along with instructions on how to login and call-in, will be emailed to attendees a few days prior to the date of the webinar. PANO uses Zoom as our webinar platform; you can familiarize yourself with Zoom and/or join a test meeting prior to these sessions.

Can’t attend? All webinar registrants will receive a recording of the webinar following the live session!
