AAUW NC Is Zooming Around!
Branches around the state have jumped on the Zoom concept to keep their members engaged and to make plans for the 2020-2021 year. In addition to book groups, several board of directors meetings have been held successfully. Fall programs are in the works for several others.
AAUW NC purchased a Zoom account before the end of March, in a rapid reaction to the sheltering-in-place world we have known now for 5 months. In addition to supporting board meetings and committees, the board intentionally sought to provide a valuable service to reach members across the state.
Branches using Zoom include Asheville, Cape Fear, Charlotte, Greensboro, Hendersonville, Orange-Durham-Chatham (ODC), Raleigh/Wake, and Winston-Salem.
The state Zoom account is FREE for branch use, can accommodate up to 100 people per session, and has no time limit. To make a reservation, send an email to vicepresident@aauw.org.
