The meeting will be set up as a webinar so you will not be on camera that day; however, you will be able to ask questions via the Chat & Q&A functions. You will also have the ability to unmute yourself to ask questions as well; however, we ask that you stay muted when not asking a question to avoid any unnecessary disruptions when others are speaking.
Your first duty as a member of the CAP Team is to contact your county’s legislative delegation and request a meeting with each member on January 20 after 11:00 a.m. or another date/time that works for you and members of your legislative delegation. If you do not have the capability to set up your own Zoom/WebEx, etc. meeting, please see if your state representative/senator can do so from their end. If not, please contact Chelsea Fibert at fibert@wicounties.org and she will be happy to assist. You also have the option to set up a socially-distanced in-person meeting in the district or a conference call if you prefer.
