Conducting Remote Meetings
Considering having your club board and committee meetings online. Certainly you can do a teleconference; however, more effective is a webinar where participants are able to share their computer screen to display documents (agendas, reports) and videos. Most service providers include option for each participant to have their camera on and thus see each other live. There's instant 'chats' to indicate for example - whose up next, give suggestions (mute your microphone).
