10:10 Welcome and housekeeping — Zoom guidelines script

Cameras on, please. We are a women-identifying space and seeing each other is how we build the kind of trust that makes this gathering what it is.

Right-click your video, select Rename, and enter your first and last name. Add your pronouns so people know how you prefer to be addressed.

Camera on

We are reasonable humans. Life comes up. Step away when you need to. On the whole, please show up with your camera on. If today is not your day for it, the replay will be waiting.
