This session will demonstrate the web conferencing software that is being considered for an AAUW NC "virtual" board meeting. All are welcome to participate and share ideas on how this tool can lower our costs and improve our efficiency. Those who want some information in advance are encouraged to go to the Isoph Institute web site to review the material on web conferencing. More about Nancy >>>
