The Virtues of Going Virtual


Changing times causes the effect of changing how we meet to share 

information and make decisions.  The shift from in-person meetings to

a safe and healthier gathering called ‘virtual’, is a natural aspect of the 

association’s growth and more efficient communication.


Important information, updates and announcements will be sent via email 

from dvtassociation@gmail.com and through our 

DVTA Blogspot https://dvtassociation.blogspot.com/ 


Why Online Meetings? Virtual, like emails and Blogspot, allow sharing 

of information faster.  Such as:

  • Surveys - for you to give your viewpoint, opinion and input

  • Announcements - keeping you up-to-date 

  • Virtual meetings - provides a safe and healthy location for 

    your participation

  • Improved communication


 What are the benefits?

  • Email surveys and Blogspot ensures the confidentiality 

    of your responses

  • Virtual meetings - provides a well-organized venue with…

    • screen sharing for important documents.

    • mic control to respect one person speaking at a time

    • Chat section to ask pertinent questions 

    • Effective and efficient meetings


How will online meetings work?

  • An email is sent with the link to the meeting

  • Upon clicking the link, you enter a waiting room

  • The co-host will open your access to the meeting

  • Surveys can be done within the meeting for accurate voting

  • A chat area to present your questions ahead of time 

    • Please use the chat for meeting related questions only


Our Association is growing not only in the number of members but also 

in the use of technology.  The Executive Members value your participation.
