2020 ANNUAL MEETING: A VIRTUAL GATHERING ON JUNE 8
Our next step will be to adapt our Annual Meeting from an in-person event to a shorter, virtual gathering. A virtual meeting is a new way of doing business! Members will be emailed well in advance to let you know what to expect and how to access the meeting.
This decision for a virtual meeting comes with heartache, as Annual Meeting is as much a celebration among friends as it is the culmination of annual grantmaking. Moreover, it's our biggest member recruitment and renewal opportunity.
We hope that everyone will still use Annual Meeting as the opportunity
to recommit to Impact Austin for FY 2021. A monthly payment option will be presented in June.
Leadership is now investigating the technologies, streaming bandwidth, and licenses needed for virtual cloud meeting apps to handle our large electronic participation. Event sponsors and individual donors are asked to support the new and unbudgeted expenses that arise with this type of Annual Meeting.
