FAQ:
Q: Will I be required to letterboard during Zoom meetings?
A: No, we want all council members to feel comfortable participating in the Zoom meetings. Council members will be given materials to respond to in the weeks leading up to each meeting. Meeting time will be used to go over everyone’s responses and questions and explain upcoming projects and opportunities in greater detail. Short responses may be requested (not required), and if individuals would like to letterboard during the Zoom session, they are always welcome to.
