It Takes a Team to Run A Meeting!
Hybrid Meetings
(with Zoom)
“Hybrid” means people meeting in person and people who join over the Internet.
What You Do:
You Run the Meeting.
It’s your audience and your meeting.
You invite the audience, set up the room, and open the doors. You declare the meeting “Open!“
You Provide the Message
It is your agenda, after all. You know what you want to present.
You want – and need – to focus on the business at hand.
You Talk to Both Audiences
You send your message to both audiences. This is true whether you are the President or the presenter.
But…
You Don’t Have Enough Time
You may have the necessary technical skills, but you cannot stop the meeting to fix something online if it breaks!
We provide an extra body, a pair of hands, and technical experience.
What We Do:
We Manage the Technical Stuff!
Our job is to make the meeting available to everyone who is online! We focus on the technical mechanics of making the Internet part of your meeting successful.
Before the meeting, we…
…arrive at least an hour before your meeting to set up and test the equipment. (We do a lot of other things before the meeting, but arriving early is the most visible.)
During the meeting, we…
…make the technology invisible to you and to the audience. We open the online “doors” and then we advocate for online participants and manage their participation.
After the meeting, we…
…stay to pack up the equipment.
(BTW: We also edit videos, consult with organizations, and train other admins for hybrid meetings.)
Our interest is in the technical success of your meeting, regardless of the content or personalities!
Hybrid Meetings
Are The New Normal
Meetings were held in person until March 2020. For the following two years, most meetings were held over the Internet.
Since the middle of 2022, many organizations tried to run hybrid meetings. They had varying degrees of success.
It’s time for another meeting! It might include members of your HOA, a profit/non-profit organization, directors, shareholders, or homeowners.
There is no going back to only in-person business meetings. While some people want to return to face-to-face meetings, other people now prefer the convenience and safety of Internet meetings.
