BEST PRACTICES FOR ZOOM ETIQUETTE:
• Be aware of noise around you, and try not to watch in a busy location. This will make it easier for you to hear as well as everyone else in the session if you come off mute
• Camera and mic can be used for questions during open discussion segments
• Use the 'chatbox' and 'raise hand' functions of Zoom to signal to the hosts that you'd like to ask a question
• Wear appropriate clothing in case you are seen on camera

We look forward to seeing you on August 6th! And please share!
