There are two ways to use GOTOMeeting.
The fullest way to participate is to use your computer, tablet or smartphone. To do this, visit
https://www.gotomeet.me/AANR/test-board-meeting
and follow the instructions. You should try this sometime during the week, to make sure you’re set. If you reach “Waiting for Karen Lahey”, you succeeded. Ignore any login or “start your free trial” buttons, because those only apply to the meeting organizer. This will also be easier the second time, because there will be some set up steps that are skipped. If you have any problems, you can email karen.lahey@aanr.com
The other way to participate is to use your phone and call +1 (646) 749-3117 with the Access Code: 872-794-229 . If you call in from your phone, you will be able to hear everything, but you won’t be able to see anyone else.
During the meeting, please mute when you are not talking. (Click the little microphone or mute your phone). That will help cut down on background noise.
These instructions are also available at www.aanr-nw.org
