May lose fall too, because of COVID-19. We could do a virtual meeting, but in-person conferences have a fundraising component. Joe wants to regroup with Danny, Geri Lynn and Matthew to share ideas at next Board meeting. Geri talked about first virtual Chicago conference happening first week in May. Geri wants to hear from the Chicago community how they feel about these kinds of meetings and how COVID is affecting things. Joe thinks we should approach corporate members for donations in order to conduct a virtual conference and give companies a chance to voice their message. Conferences longer than 1 hour are hard to do. Geri talked about a networking app that allows person-to-person discussions, much like speed dating. Brian says all SPM live Town Halls canceled for 2020. Brian has done well getting sponsors for an virtual event in May. Sarah talked about virtual conferences which can be long and monotonous. Said to look at conferences that have been archived. Lisa talked about Simmons Women\u2019s Leadership Conference. Susan Grady, who runs Simmons, did a great job. She would be someone to consult with to learn about how to create a virtual conference.<\/p>\n

Lots of collateral damage to society (delayed medical treatments, surgeries, etc.) Brian will reach out to those who have been active on Connect to ask it they want to participate in the Town Hall. Danny says Amber may not be able to actively participate given that\u2019s she\u2019s on the front line of COVID-19.<\/p>\nSummary: How did it Go?<\/u> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sands<\/h2>\n Eric: meeting went well!
