<https://gtalug.org/meeting/2021-11/> # AGM & Round Table Q&A A Round Table Q&A Session is where we take questions from the audience, and the audience discusses and attempts to answer those questions from their own knowledge. It's a great way to meet fellow members of our community and discover the skill sets we each bring to the table. There will be a bit of organizational business, as we hold the Annual General Meeting of GTALUG, which will involve: - A brief financial report for the year - The 2021 Board Elections ## Location We're going to use Zoom for this meeting: **Time:** November 9, 2021 07:30 PM Easter Time **Join Zoom Meeting:** [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81924329473?pwd=MndSWHNaRGNZSUtIeVB0WG1xTkZTQT09]… **Meeting ID:** 819 2432 9473 **Passcode:** 655996 **Find your local number:** [https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kd2rxnbq6D](https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kd2rxnbq6D) ## Schedule * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.
