WAA VIRTUAL GATHERINGS
GUIDELINES TO COME TOGETHER SAFELY AND RESPECTFULLY IN THE DIGITAL SPACE.
Meeting Agreement
In a virtual space, we ask that participants agree to the following:
While logged into the call we ask you to be fully present and resist the urge to multi-task.
We encourage you to engage—all should feel comfortable to come on and off-screen as needed.
We encourage everyone to contribute.
Those of us who speak quickly and frequently might give space to others or use the chat function to leave space for someone else whenever possible.
We will allow for productive silence.
We will avoid cross-talk and use the mute button when not speaking.
We will use the chat portal or raise hand feature to communicate before we speak.
We will manage time together.
We will all speak from our own experience and allow others to do the same.
Confidentiality. Please keep this conversation private and confidential.
Code of Ethics
We recommend that all those who participate in a WAA virtual gathering be familiar with the WAA Code of Ethics.
