Hi Natalia!
That sounds good. We can use the CCGA Zoom Room if you’d like. It’s the same link we used for the meeting on Tuesday.
Since there are a few of us, I’ll put together a short agenda and send it to all on Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend, all!
Amy

>> It was nice to “meet” you at the meeting yesterday evening. So sorry again for my lateness in setting up the zoom link! I take care of my mom in Michigan and had taken an early morning train back to Chicago. I took a power nap in the afternoon and totally slept through my alarm! I know our April meeting will be a better hybrid setup with Sarah managing it :)

>> As Sarah mentioned, you’re most welcome to attend our meeting tomorrow evening to get a feel for what the monthly meetings are all about. We have a pretty full agenda, so it would be hard to talk specifically about volunteering with our team.

>>
>> I’d love to set up a zoom so we could talk more about your interests and can fill you in on what the communications team is all about and answer questions. I worked at Shedd Aquarium for many years as a designer and am also so interested in hearing about your work with aquatic invasive species!

>> Hello,
>>
>>
>>
>> I'm writing to express my interest in volunteering with CCGA. I noticed that you're looking for volunteers to help maintain the website, manage socials, and support other communication methods. I would love to learn how I can get involved, both virtually and in-person.
>>
>>
>>
>> For background, I currently live in North Center and work as an Aquatic Invasive Species Educator at Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant. I have a lot of experience managing websites and listservs, organizing events and webinars, and creating graphics for events. I also have some fieldwork experience and would be happy to assist with any community projects that need volunteers.

>>
>> Please let me know how/if I can get invovled with CCGA. Thanks for your time!
