Over many years, your Association of BellTel Retirees has hosted its annual member meeting at conference centers across the country to meet our members where they live.
These meetings have been hosted in some eight states including Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, with member mini-meetings in other places as well. Just this past year we hosted our annual meeting in Bear Mountain, New York.
For 2024, your Association – in an effort to continue efficiencies and make sure we can continue to work in a streamlined manner to protect your rights – have decided to move our annual meeting online.
We anticipate the 2024 BellTel annual member meeting will go live on the morning of April 16th, 2024. Make sure to mark your calendars and keep an eye on your email inbox for any and all updates on this virtual event, so you can stay informed of events at the Association and participate live from your own home.
As many of you may know, this is not our first virtual member meeting. In 2020, we had to pivot quickly during the initial pandemic year to protect our members and still keep everyone highly informed of Association issues. Technology allowed us to broadcast live simultaneously via YouTube and Facebook.
The digital meetings in in both 2020 and 2021 were a great success with countless members viewing across platforms and hundreds participating live. We are confident that moving forward with our online member meeting for this upcoming year will be equally successful and reach a wide range of members all over the country.
We understand that some of our members may not have access to the internet or a computer to view the meeting. We suggest asking your children or perhaps a trusted neighbor for assistance to join and view the 2024 annual member meeting.
Your Association strives to stay current by making our resources available and accessible to our members and potential members in the most cost effective and effective way possible.
According to the Pew Research Center 70 percent of Americans receive their news through social media. Among those polled, 31 percent say they regularly receive their news from Facebook, and 25 percent receive their news from YouTube.
This shift to virtual meetings is just one of the many ways to make our information available to all who need it. Stay tuned for more details and make plans to log on and participate on April 16, 2024.
