Do it Right, Make it Better - Enhancing Your Annual Virtual Meetings
Sponsored by: Czarnowski & Beer LLP
REGISTER NOW
It's been a seemingly endless year of isolation and workarounds for most of us - co-op and condo boards included. But tough as it's been, the challenges of navigating the pandemic have also inspired many boards and managers to get creative and figure out smarter, better ways to conduct the crucial business of running their communities - including annual meetings. This informative webinar will highlight how effective boards have achieved that success...as well as offering some cautionary tales. Join a panel of experts who have facilitated over 100 virtual meetings and seen it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and who will offer firsthand advice on how your board can make virtual meetings efficient, effective, and engaging.
Speakers: Stephen W. Beer, CPA, PFS, CCSA, Partner - Czarnowski & Beer LLP, Avi Zanjirian, CPA, Partner - Czarnowski & Beer LLP
