Berlin Historical Society had an all member meeting just before the all
state "mask edit"
because we had some time-sensitive decisions to make also. People used the
social distancing
and those that wanted to wear masks could. Another option would be to hold
the meeting
outdoors which makes it easier to social distance.

Subject: Pandemic-era Annual Meetings?
Hi, History Friends!
I work at the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society in Mount Horeb, WI.
We are currently contemplating our Annual Meeting, traditionally held in
October.
Because of our budget cycle (fiscal year begins Oct 01), postponing the
meeting would mean operating without an approved budget-something we are
hoping to avoid.
How do we fulfill this necessity, while safeguarding the health of our
membership?
(Our specific bylaws do not explicitly allow for a virtual meeting, and a
vote of the membership is needed to change the bylaws.)
I was wondering--how are other nonprofits handling this quandary?
How is your organization approaching/how did your organization handle your
2020, pandemic-era Annual Meeting?
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide!
Best Wishes,
Destinee K. Udelhoven
