I think it helps attendees feel more connected. Especially since there is not opportunity to greet people individually and casually catch up the same way that you get as people arrive for in-person events.]]> 2020-12-01 17:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainableneighborhoodnetwork/vetml9me9m7wktx3/wish/976511462 I think its nice when the meeting host is actively welcoming people as they join.
