Join us at 5 p.m. for an informal social.
To be held online: https://live.remo.co/e/nasw-annual-membership-meeting.
This online meeting will be held on the platform Remo. Remo is a networking and presentation space that looks like a conference room floor plan, and attendees can move around the space to meet and video chat with others. This is a new platform to many, so please read the details carefully and test your tech well ahead of the meeting.
The event will start at 5 p.m. EDT with 30 minutes of social time. Attendees can mingle via video by clicking on virtual tables and joining the conversation with up to five other people who have landed at the same table. Move around as much as you wish. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. EDT. The agenda, including presentation of the annual Diane McGurgan Service Award, is posted below. When presentation mode is on, all attendees' cameras and mics will be automatically turned off, and everyone will see the main screen.
