CHS Board Meeting web cast

I got to participate in the Children's Home Society board meeting last night remotely, using conference calling and web access. There was a little video feed from the conference room, so you could see the people attending, and Jeff and Susan had all the handouts and reports accessible on the web link, so you could follow right along. This was a good experience, and a reminder of "things to come" where you don't necessarily have to drive the 70 miles to Charleston to be kept in the loop and involved in the meetings. They are working at this, with the efforts to broaden the board to represent all the state. One board member was on the web cast in Virginia, and could participate fully. Keith Spears is doing a great "cheerleading" job as the Board President, making everyone feel the importance of the board's work in leading the agency.
