FEATURE PRESENTATION Details:
Markus Van Aardt who is affiliated with Ryerson University as a Communication Skills Instructor in the Raymond G Chang business school will be presenting a 15 minute presentation called "Relationship building through compelling conversations”. This presentation should provide some valuable opportunities for discussion to help us thrive as a club came to help our members grow.
I will open the Zoom room early so members can chat before the meeting starts. The meeting should start promptly at 7:10 pm.
IN-PERSON MEETING DETAILS.
IMPORTANT!!
For the in-person portion of the meeting we will be following the current guidelines for health and safety as directed by the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (CDC) requirements for social distancing, masks, and vaccine status for public events.
- Mask’s are required
- Must be fully vaccinated (2 Doses) mandatory
- Vaccination Card & Photo ID mandatory
- Temperature check mandatory
All attendee’s for this meeting will be required to fill in a self assessment form and provide basic contact information for contact tracing in the unlikely event a Covid19 outbreak occurs.
I know this seems a little over the top for a simple Toastmaster’s meeting, but this is the new norm going forward.
Detailed directions to the In-Person Meeting Space will be provided with the eventbrite confirmation email, as well as the Zoom Meeting ID and meeting access link for the online meeting.
We look forward to welcoming the club back into a physical space, and are excited to work to bring the Hybrid experience to the next level!!
I hope to see you all in a weeks time,
Club Meeting and Feature Presentation
