Remote User Group Meetings - 2021 Survey

Many groups changed their meeting formats over the last year. As you might expect the pandemic factored into meeting decisions, with some groups moving fully online due to loss of a regular meeting space or need to socially isolate.

Some groups have been meeting remotely for many years, while others used the past year to master Zoom, FaceTime, and various remote streaming options.

We would appreciate your input in this brief survey.

1.Did your group meet remotely prior to Covid?

2.Does your group plan to meet remotely once the problems provided by the pandemic are under control?

We plan to primarily focus on meeting in person when we are reasonably able to do so.

We look forward to a mix of meeting types, with most meetings online.
