Chairing Meetings is a great way to do service. Are you considering to chair a meeting? Please read through the following:
If you want to chair a meeting in Zoom (video and audio) these are the steps:
- Get 30 days free of Nicotine
- Get yourself trained: Ask other hosts if you can co-chair with them. You need 4 times co-chairing to become a “Host.”
- Download the Zoom Meeting format. This is a suggested format, so the meeting you’re co-chairing might use a different format.
- Download the VONR Zoom reference guide for instructions and best practices to manage the Zoom room.
- After 4 times co-chairing, you’re ready to become a Zoom Host , Hurray!
- Ask the Zoom Roomowner host@voicesofnicotinerecovery.com to give you the host-code and final training, and to show you how to open the room.
- If you want to start your very own meeting, check the calendar, choose an hour that is free, pick a topic and send all this information to calendar@voicesofnicotinerecovery.com
Anyone who already has the VONR Zoom host key to keep the parking lot open regardless of current smober time.
It is NOT required that a chairperson have a regularly scheduled meeting on the calendar. A chairperson may open the meeting room at any time for a meeting (not just to chat), by posting a message in the VONR WhatsApp that the meeting room is open. An admin may also be a substitute chair for other admins.
If a chairperson begins using nicotine again, she or he must wait 30 days after becoming nicotine-free to begin chairing again.
