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.
