Good Afternoon to All,
Our by-laws do not specifically state where our meetings must be held. Ther
efore, we are going the Zoom route. Some members were a little bit apprehen
sive about using Zoom. All our members have and use email. Teaching them ho
w to use Zoom was relatively simple. Members that don't have cameras on the
ir computers can participate via their phone and watch on their computer.
Unfortunately, we need to try new solutions for new times.

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 Oc
tober.
Because of our budget cycle (fiscal year begins Oct 01), postponing the mee
ting would mean operating without an approved budget-something we are hopin
g to avoid.
How do we fulfill this necessity, while safeguarding the health of our memb
ership?
(Our specific bylaws do not explicitly allow for a virtual meeting, and a v
ote 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
