During our meetings this month, we will have a lot of people that are logging into our Zoom meetings. When you log in, make sure that your ID shows both your first and last name. Order is not critical, it can be first and last or last and first. Participants that show only a phone number will be disconnected early in the meeting. Participants who do not show both first and last name will be disconnected next. We will be checking participants names against the registration list and disconnecting those names that are not on the list as well. Thank you for your attention to this detail. Gene
